[Paraview] Paraview crashes regularly during animation/rendering

[burlen]

You may want to watch PV's memory consumption as the animations 
progress. You said "large" and "single workstation", there is a chance 
that some operation is taking more memory than you thought it would 
causing PV to be killed. PV consuming anything over 80% in my experience 
is skating on thin ice. In case you're not familiar with it, the command 
line tool "top" will help monitor the situation.
