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

[Matthew Brown]

Thank you for the quick reply.

On the client, I used a superbuild for MacOS X which I take it is built
with OpenGL2.  On the cluster, I accepted the default flag which (upon
rerunning ccmake) appears to be OpenGL on this system.

So, the client and server are almost certainly built to use different
rendering backends.  I take it that they must be the same for full
functionality, is that correct?  What functionality would you expect to
fail if rendering backends are mismatched between the client and server?
