[Paraview] Paraview 4.1.0 RC1 Darwin corrupts animation in state file

[Matthias Graf]

Dear Utkarsh,

Thanks for looking into this in more detail. The problem seems to be on 
my side.

After more testing of saved state files, I conclude that the animation 
saving/reload and replay problem has to do with my computer's 
configuration which seems to change with security updates run in the 
background. So I can't even predict the outcome of my tests of paraview 
from day to day.
My IT guys say they don't support Mac OS X 10.6.* any longer, so I will 
have to upgrade to keep enjoying paraview.


Thank you,
Matthias
