[Paraview] problem using 'stream tracer with custom source' filter

[Paul Edwards]

Look at the values for "ReasonForTermination" that are added to the
streamlines.  Here are what the numbers mean:

1: OUT_OF_DOMAIN
2: NOT_INITIALIZED
3: UNEXPECTED_VALUE
4: OUT_OF_LENGTH
5: OUT_OF_STEPS
6: STAGNATION

Regards,
Paul
