Bug#837796: paraview: segfaults when performing query-based selections

[Francesco Poli (wintermute)]

Package: paraview
Version: 5.1.2+dfsg1-1
Severity: important

Hello!

First of all, thanks for maintaining ParaView in Debian.

I noticed a segfault that can be obtained reproducibly.
It happens with query-based selections.

The steps to reproduce the segfaults are the ones detailed
in _Exercise 2.27 Performing Query-Based Selections_
of The ParaView Tutorial version 5.1 [1] (see page 59 or
pdfpage 67 [2]), which uses the can.ex2 example data file [3].

[2] http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/images/f/f7/ParaViewTutorial51.pdf
[3] http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/images/5/5d/ParaViewTutorialData.tar.gz

I get a segfault as soon as I execute step 6 (click the Run Selection
Query button).

Please investigate and fix this bug and/or forward my bug report
upstream.

Thanks for your time!
Bye.
