[Paraview] Paraview freezes without any error message

[Cory Quammen]

Tanja,

I believe this problem was fixed in VTK commit:

commit 44814f3e51747c9a53e66ba7993805ea496a8882
Author: Shawn Waldon <shawn.waldon at kitware.com>
Date:   Fri May 5 15:28:43 2017 -0400

    vtkDataReader handle file ending in whitespace

    If a VTK legacy file ended in whitespace without a newline after it,
    then the reader would enter an infinite loop.  Break that loop.

This fix is in ParaView 5.4.0. I second Kenichiro's suggestions.

Best regards,
Cory
