[Paraview] Paraview segfaults on CentOS 7.2

I have been having trouble running the release binary of Paraview on 
relatively stock CentOS 7.2 using
the OpenGL. It segfaults before it loads up the GUI window.. If I start 
Paraview with the --mesa option,
it works fine.

This happens with the 2.3 and 2.4 Paraview binaries, i.e. 
ParaView-5.3.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit and
ParaView-5.4.0-Qt5-OpenGL2-MPI-Linux-64bit, as well as the latest build,
ParaView-5.4.0-233-g9952b9f-Qt5-MPI-Linux-64bit.

The same executables start fine both in CentOS6, and in an Ubuntu 16.10 
Singularity container that runs
on the CentOS7 host.

Before I dig further, I am wondering what is the experience on running 
Paraview on CentOS7.

Thanks,
