[Paraview] PV 5.0.1 client-server crashing for some datasets

[Matthew Brown]

I have recently built and installed ParaView 5.0.1 on one of our clusters
and am having issues when loading most datasets that I have tried.

1. remote rendering seems to work with no issues:  I can make spheres and
cylinders and move them around and color their sections according the core
doing the processing
2. the ParaView tutorial dataset (from
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/The_ParaView_Tutorial) named headsq.vti can
load and render remotely with no problems
3. loading either of the other two tutorial datasets (can.ex2 or
disk_out_ref.ex2) causes the application to crash
4. The remote client machine (running ParaView5.0.1) can open all of these
datasets with no problem

Crash details:
a. data set variables show up correctly in the Properties pane, but
Information seems unavailable: all the fields under statistics and data
arrays have values "NA", but time indices look correct
b. clicking "Apply" causes the client application on the remote machine and
pvserver on the cluster to die
c. client-side standard output:

Build information:
cluster: CentOS 7, gcc-4.7.2, openmpi-1.8.5, python 2.7.10, ParaView 5.0.1.
I can provide more details if needed, but I'm not sure what would be most
relevant

It seems to me that the issue may be with how the cluster is opening the
datasets.  I would like some advice or ideas on how to resolve or continue
troubleshooting the problem.

Thanks,

Matt
