I can confirm that PV 10.0 (Linux 64bit binaries) crashes upon opening XDMF files. The sample file quoted below suffices to reproduce the problem. I also note that the very same file was loaded correctly and without complaints by PV 3.10.0-RC1, so continuing to use the RC version is an obvious work-around (albeit an unsatisfactory one).
The ability to load and process XDMF files is absolutely essential to my application; without it, PV is useless to me. It would thus be great to see this vital issue resolved in the near future.
I'll gladly submit a formal bug report if that should be of any help.

Jens.
