[Paraview] Bug in Paraview 4.2 example + fix

[Cory Quammen]

Hi Bertwin,

No problem. It would be helpful to me, though, if you could checkout
the change, try it out, and report back on the list if it works for
you.

To get the change, you will need to have obtained the source via git.
If this is the case, go to your ParaView source directory and enter

git fetch http://review.source.kitware.com/p/ParaView refs/topics/37/4837/1
git checkout FETCH_HEAD -b 15044_update_example_plugins

This will download my topic branch and check it out in your local
repository. Compile it again and test.

Thanks,
Cory
