[Paraview] Segmentation fault when starting ParaView

[Martin Reitzle]

Hello everyone,

I am running into a strange issue and hope someone can help me:

I'm compiling ParaView 5.2.0 locally on my openSuse 13.1 system (gcc).
Configuring and compiling works just fine. However, as soon as is try to 
execute ParaView, I immediately end up with a segmentation fault.

Running ParaView with gdb shows that the error is somewhere in vtk. I 
attached the backtrace below.
So I started asking around and no one I know ran into this error.
Therefore, I started experimenting and set up a virtual box with 
openSuse 13.1. The strange thing now is, that everything works just fine 
in the virtual environment. No warnings, no seg faults.

I'm grateful for any help you can offer.

Kind regards,
Martin
