[Paraview] Programmable Filter from Text Source prevents loading saved state

[Michael Garba]

I am attempting to create a custom reader in pure Python by attaching a 
ProgrammableFilter to a Text source that provides file names and other 
input parameters in JSON syntax. When the output type of the 
programmable filter is set to a vtkRectilinearGrid (apparently anything 
other than the original vtkTable input), Paraview throws the following 
error multiple times

The data is successfully loaded and, for the rest of the session, there 
are no further errors. However, the application exits with a 
segmentation fault and core dump when I attempt to load any saved 
Paraview state files based on this pipeline. Any insights into this 
problem will be appreciated.
