I have a .vtu file that contains time-dependent data. It works fine in version 5.7 of paraview. However, from 5.8 and up, it crashes at some point. Sometimes, I can view the time-dependent data just fine, but eventually paraview crashes (version 5.8 and up).  
[solution\_all\_time.vtu](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/nkFLzJlcrqEnfhIWD3hrkObjynC.vtu) (2.1 MB)

Here is the log file I get (using paraview 5.9.1).  
[log.txt](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/lcriCvKFGwTC0GjE2pctQE9mx6p.txt) (6.1 KB)

Do you know what the problem is?

Shawn,

Sorry to hear about the trouble with your older VTU file. I don’t have an immediate solution for you. For anyone who looks into this, here is a stack trace where ASAN reports an error:
