[David E DeMarle]

Can you confirm for us that the same operation on the same machine
with the same data did work on 3.12RC2?

>> 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.
