[Paraview] plugin mismatch?

Hi,
Being the one who uploaded the plugin (having added a mere frosting to the
servermanager XML that got posted here in 2009) I'd like to add the following:
The plugin is merely a convenient way to use vtkTensorGlyph.cxx from within
ParaView, but does not add additional features. As such it does not provide any
magic to support multi-core/multiple pvserver processes.
When using the input file tensors8.vtk shipped with the plugin in a multi-core
environment, you have to use the D3 filter first to distribute the data. You
will notice that then the glyphs are already wrong for -np 2
