[Paraview] Plugin Crashing on PV 3.12 RC2

I have some new information to add.

Sometimes, the files

<plugin>Init.cxx
<vtkClass>ClientServer.cxx
vtkSM<plugin>Instantiator.h
vtkSM<plugin>Instantiator.cxx
vtkSMXML_<plugin>.h

are generated, sometimes they are not. I haven't found a consistent
way to reproduce the behavior where these files are not generating.
Every time I compile, though, a dylib for the plugin (I'm on a Mac) is
generated. There are no complaints about not being able to find the
files I listed above when they are missing. Making clean and
rebuilding doesn't seem to help.

Thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks,
Cory
