0012757: Crash when loading Ensight Gold files
Paraview 3.12.0 crashes when I load Fluent-generated Ensight Gold ASCII files on my Windows 7, 64-bit system. Paraview 3.10.1 installed on the same system does not.

Fluent generates Ensight Gold output as an .encas file, which is a text document pointing to other files containing geometry and surface variables. In all versions of Paraview I have tried over the past couple years, Paraview does not recognize .encas files as being associated with Ensight Gold, so when I open the file loader, I must set the filter to "all files" and then select my desired .encas file. Normally, this brings up a next screen which asks me which type of file this is, and I select Ensight Gold, and the file then loads correctly.

In Paraview 3.12.0, once I select the .encas file in the loader, the entire program crashes with no visible error message. I do not get asked what type of file the .encas file is before the crash happens.

Upon request, I would be glad to share a sample dataset that crashes Paraview 3.12.0, but the files are extremely large and so probably not appropriate to provide here.
No tags attached.

This bug seems similar to 0011673, but Paraview 3.12.0 crashes before I even get the option to select which data type to open as.
