[Paraview] Crash using openmpi with more than 4 processes

[Bart Janssens]

Hi all,

I've been trying to run pvserver using 8 processes. It accepts the connection, 
but when loading a simple VTK file it crashes. Exactly the same line with -np 4 
does work. The problem appears on both paraview SVN and 3.6.2. The machine has 
8 cores, below is the full command and output:

mpirun -np 8 /share/apps/paraview-3.6.2/bin/pvserver --use-offscreen-rendering 
-rc -ch=10.67.81.131

mpirun noticed that job rank 0 with PID 3569 on node mach.intra.rma.ac.be 
exited on signal 11 (Segmentation fault).
7 additional processes aborted (not shown)

Anyone have an idea what may be causing this?

Cheers,

Bart
