A follow up on this problem. <div>If anyone is interested, I think it is a bug with the rectilinear vtk reader (or any derivatives).</div><div> I converted the same dataset to *.vtu format, and read the file series. Did the same experiment with temporal filters and everything looked perfectly fine. No error message or crashing. </div>
