[Paraview] PV 3.98.1: pvbatch error: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)

[Anton Shterenlikht]

On some linux, 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5,
I get an error when using
--use-offscreen-rendering
with pvbatch.

$ pvbatch z.py

produces me an image as expected,
but

$ pvbatch --use-offscreen-rendering z.py
gives, after some delay,:

X Error of failed request:  BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
  Major opcode of failed request:  152 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  28 ()
  Serial number of failed request:  210
  Current serial number in output stream:  213

$ pvbatch --version
paraview version 3.98.1
$

How can I check PV was installed with
mangled mesa?

Thanks

Anton
