[Paraview] multi block crash

[John Doe]

I was compiling on two different computers with cvs updates at two
different times.  This is the first time trying to use paraview on
this machine, but it worked on the other.  It looks like there is a
lot of stuff going on in cvs this morning, so I am recompiling again.

Just recompiled and it's still crashing.  Since the vtu files are
loading properly on an individual basis, I think it must be the vtm
file.

Since it is undocumented, and apparently still changing, could someone
please tell me what the proper format is from the examples I have
below.

Regards,

Juan
