I tried opening the supplied tiff file as in both ParaView and pvpython 
(version 3.14.1) but got a segfault both times.

Here's the pvpython script that failed:

	import paraview.vtk.io
	reader = paraview.vtk.io.vtkTIFFReader()
	reader.SetFileName("data/nir_tomo.tif")
	reader.Update()
	print 'ready to write'
	writer = paraview.vtk.io.vtkXMLImageDataWriter()
	writer.SetFileName("/home/hal/data/nir_tomo.vti")
	writer.SetInputConnection(reader.GetOutputPort())
	writer.Update()
