[Paraview] paraview kills itself while saving animation

[Tropin, Nikita]

I have the same problem as described below - paraview kills itself while saving animation. I have 3.10.1 version and disabled Geometry Cache but Paraview still eats all my memory (6 gb) while saving animation and is killed after a while. It works OK in 3.8.1 with eating not more than 3% of RAM.

Bart,

A few memory leaks were detected in 3.10.0. We have fixes for those
waiting to go into 3.10.1. You may want to wait for 3.10.1 (which
should be out soon) and give that a try. Another thing to try would be
to disable "Geomtry Cache" on the Animation Page in the Settings
dialog (You'll have to restart paraview for that setting to take
effect).
