[Paraview] Strange instability

I downloaded and installed paraview-3.4.0 for Mac 10.5+ and have been 
using it without issue for the past month.  However, today it has 
stopped loading datasets....

Here is an example of a dataset that fails.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<VTKFile type="ImageData" version="0.1" byte_order="LittleEndian">
  <ImageData WholeExtent="0 8 0 8 0 0"   Origin="0 0 0" Spacing="1 1 0">
    <Piece Extent="0 8 0 8 0 0">
      <CellData Scalars="ID">
        <DataArray Name="ID" type="Int32" format="ascii">
1 1 1 1 4 4 4 4 1 1 1 1 4 4 4 4 1 1 1 1 5 4 4 4 1 1 1 5 5 5 4 4 2 2 5 5 
5 5 5 3 2 2 2 5 5 5 3 3 2 2 2 2 5 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3
        </DataArray>
      </CellData>
    </Piece>
  </ImageData>
</VTKFile>

When I switch to the representation to "Surface" and the label to "ID" 
it crashes the application. Both 3D and 2D datasets of this type fail 
without error when I attempt to switch to "Surface" and "ID".

I deleted the previous paraview binary and installed a new one today 
without any success. I am guessing that there is a temporary file 
somewhere that I need to delete.

Thanks

p.s. I am new to debugging paraview issues and I did not find a search 
on the mailing list so I apologize in advance if this is a common 
problem with a common fix.
