[Paraview] Paraview hangs when using changing geometries and binary ensight gold format

[Georg Hammerl]

Hello,

I have problems when I try to visualize my results in Paraview which 
include changing geometries. I can load the first time step but when I 
switch to the next step (in which 4 points are added), paraview freezes 
and htop shows 100% load for this process. Surprisingly, this only 
happens when I use binary ensight gold format. The same results written 
in ascii ensight gold format work. The ens_checker tells me for both 
cases that I have valid output files. Attached are the binary and ascii 
version of the result. It would be nice to use binary output for my results.

I work on a 64 bit Linux system and I have checked out the latest 
repository version of Paraview (but I have also tried older versions: 
3.14 and 3.6) giving me the same result.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers,

Georg
