[Paraview] Paraview segfault when connecting to pvserver

[Cory Quammen]

Patrick,

This means that the client and server versions are incompatible. The
client is trying to send over a new property, "PPI", that the older
version of the server does not know about. Making sure the client and
server are built from the same source (and remembering to update the
VTK submodule with `git submodule update`) is the surest way of
resolving errors of this type.

HTH,
Cory
