[Paraview] Paraview/Qt memory crash

[Berk Geveci]

It is probably doable. However

1. the size of the file is not necessarily the same as how much memory
paraview will use. What file format? What data format?
2. is your Linux 64 bit?
3. you may have to recompile paraview as a 64 bit application. Even
though your OS may be 64 bit, the paraview binary may be 32 bit and
therefore can access only 2GB of memory space.
