[Paraview] problem with data file when moving to version 3.14

Phil,

The same thing happens to me on my 32 bit windows system. It looks like 
the glyph 3d class is being very liberal with memory allocation when 
initializing arrays. It's using the number of points in the input 
dataset rather than the number of points that will actually be glyphed 
then after glyphing takes place the sizes are corrected. I'm going to 
hazard a guess that it could be a whole lot smarter in this regard and 
simply size the arrays based on the number of points that it will 
actually glyph. The best thing to do is file a bug report so that it's 
fixed in the coming release. I'll cc the list in case to see if anyone 
can give you a better answer.
