[Paraview] multi block crash

[John Doe]

I think I know the problem.  At home I used:
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release

But my laptop did not.

Using Release sets NDEBUG which removes assertions from the compiled
software.  Apparently for MultiBlock datasets, the assertion:
ParaView3/VTK/IO/vtkXMLDataReader.cxx:347:
>>> virtual void vtkXMLDataReader::SetupOutputData(): Assertion
>>> `this->NumberOfPointArrays ==
>>> this->PointDataArraySelection->GetNumberOfArraysEnabled()' failed.
>>> Abort

May not be valid.  Would it be possible to remove this assertion from the code?

Thanks,

Juan
