[Paraview] SILO reader

[Greg Abram]

Hey, y'all -

Anyone know much about the silo reader?  I have a multimesh with 256 
parts, and I'm running in parallel - as many as 256 processes.  
Unfortunately, it bombs out in the reader with a message that there are 
too many files open and, sure enough, each node seems to be holding 
every part file open, and silo by default hits a limit at 256 (256 parts 
+ the multimesh file, I suppose).  I changed silo to allow 512 open 
files, and that works in my case, but does each process  *have* to hold 
all the files open?

Greg
