[Paraview] Crash on vtr file load

[Zenker, Dr. Matthias]

Hi Kyle,

I have downloaded and tested the new release candidate with the file I sent you. It loads OK, but crashes after a certain action with the clip filter. I get a crash when I do the following:

1. Open the file, read as "Legacy vtk file"
2. Apply
3. Display -> Style -> Surface, Color by -> Value_of_SAR[mW/g]_0s
4. Clip, Properties->Z Normal, Apply
5. rotate around y axis to see the cut plane
6. move the plane with the mouse towards the observer, i.e. in negative z direction
7. Apply => crash

Since this is a release candidate, there are chances that this can be fixed for the release... ;)

Thank you,

Matthias

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 3.12-RC2, I can open a 204 MB file (the file I have uploaded has 29 MB). Paraview will only crash when I start to play around with the clip filter, it then takes some 0.9 GB of memory. 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.
