Bug Description

[SRU]
[Impact]

Precise paraview users have two issues:
1- A window gets popped up on start displaying warnings because of the global menus
2- Loading a STL-ascii file causes a segfault

This has been fixed by upstream, and the fixes are in Raring+
This SRU backports two trivial commits to fix the issue in Precise

[Testing]
1- Open paraview, make sure dialog no longer pops up with warnings
2- Open DUMMY.stl file from upstream bug: http://paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=13101
3- Click the "Apply" button. Paraview shouldn't segfault.

[Regression Potential]
One of the patch just ignored some logs, there shouldn't be any possible regression.
The other patch fixes hitting the end of loaded files. A regression should prevent a file from opening correctly.

Original description:

Hi,

there are a couple of annoying bugs in paraview, which ships with
Precise 12.04 (possibly 12.10 is affected as well). It would be good
to have them fixed.

I have prepared a debdiff, which fixes a crash during loading of
STL-ascii files and removes a lot of warning messages during startup (LP: #995949).
Please, consider uploading these changes.

Patch is attached. Binaries can also be reviewed on PPA [1] ( paraview - 3.14.1-2precise1).

Thank you,

Anton

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and ran into both these bugs. I added the precise-proposed repository, updated paraview, and both these issues have been fixed. I can read STL files and no longer get a huge error list when starting paraview.
