[Paraview] file size with xdmf3 writer from trunk (paraview version 4.1.0-1212-g781aa0e)

[David E DeMarle]

Probably a bug and not a case of a missing an option.

Can you share the pvtp and vtp files with me off list? Otherwise, please
advise me as to how to recreate the behavior with standard sources and/or
regression test data sets so I can investigate.

Thanks for trying the new reader and reporting the problem!
