[Paraview] Crash on vtr file load

[Kyle Lutz]

I've tried and was able to reproduce the crash on WinXP-32bit with
ParaView-3.12. I then compiled ParaView from git-master (SHA: 818a8e9)
and the file could be opened succesfully. Could you try compiling
ParaView from the git? If not, ParaView 3.14 should be released this
month and should work.

Cheers,
Kyle

With the 29 MB file and one clip filter, I see 424 MB of memory usage in the task manager. When I move the clip plane, the memory usage grows to some 0.8 GB, and Paraview crashes.
