[Paraview] Making a package for Nix system

[Mathieu Westphal]

Hi Yves !

Do you happen to use the multi-clients/multi-server option ? we recently
corrected a bug that sound like yours, will be fixed in ParaView 5.3.
In any case, you may want to try with the last version of paraview master.

In order to debug, the first step would be to build ParaView in Debug, and
then run it with a debuger, in order to get a backtrace of the segfault.

Best Regards,

Mathieu Westphal
