[Paraview] Problems with large VTR files on Windows

[Vyacheslav Olshevsky]

I can successfully open a large (4556MB, 1200x450x300 cells) VTR (or a
PVTR file that consists of only 1 piece) on a 64-it Linux (CentOS)
machine.

However, on my Windows 8 64-bit machine I encounter this error:

ERROR: In C:\bbd\df0abce0\source-paraview\VTK\IO\XML\vtkXMLPDataReader.cxx,
line 362
vtkXMLPRectilinearGridReader (000000BBB2228080): File for piece 0
cannot be read.


When I am trying to open this file in Python using
vtkXMLRectilinearGridReader (VTK version 6.3.0):

reader = vtk.vtkXMLRectilinearGridReader()
reader.SetFileName(fname)
reader.Update()
rtg = reader.GetOutputAsDataSet()

When I "print rtg", everything is zero there...:

ParaView versions: 4.3, 5.0.1, 5.1.0 64 bit.
Windows 8, file system NTFS.

Can this problem be related to the way ParaView binaries are compiled
for Windows?

Thank you for your help,
