[CIG-LONG] Problem in viewing Snac results with ParaView

[Eunseo Choi]

Hi, Masako,

I will try to reproduce your problem on a Mac myself.

Your observations are puzzling but still we can infer a couple of things:
1. ParaView works fine (from the first bullet).
2. Conversion of raw files to vts, pvts works, too (from the second bullet).

I guess it will be useful to convert your raw outputs on my machine and 
try to visualize them on my ParaView.
So, please send me a set of ParaView-crashing binary outputs.
Thank you.

Eunseo
