[Paraview] [vtkusers] Open big *.VTK files with ParaView

[Cory Quammen]

Christopher,

I'm moving this to the ParaView mailing list.

As I recall, Microsoft's runtime requires the use of special
file-handling functions for reading files larger than 4 GB, even when
running on a 64-bit version of Windows. I do not believe the VTK
legacy library does not use these functions, which is likely why you
are seeing this behavior in ParaView. I'm not aware of a simple fix,
unfortunately.

Would you mind posting an Issue to the ParaView bug tracker?

Thanks,
Cory
