Description
We have been experiencing some unusual behaviour on some ubuntu platforms. When Paraview 3.98.1 shuts down on 12.04, we get failure
running paraview -V yields:
Inconsistency detected by lib.so: dl-close.c: 759: _dl_close: Assertion 'map->l_init_called' failed!
This is causing the quick pavaview check to fail, so the VSI cannot be used even though Paraview and the plugins are available.
We haven't got to the bottom of this, but it doesn't look like it's down to the 3D Acceleration.
A work around for this issue is to do the paraview check before setting PV_PLUGIN_PATH.

- Status changed from accepted to verify
- Resolution set to fixed
This is working for me now on an environment where it wouldn't previously. If the tester had access to such an environment that would be handy.
Additional things to test:
- VSI is disabled if Paraview 3.98 is not present and not on the PATH.
- VSI is enabled if Paraview 3.98 is present and is on the PATH.

Checked with package and this seems to be working correctly now.
