0012021: Xdmf dataset incorrectly loaded from state file
I have a dataset in an xmf+hdf5 pair that loads without problems in PV. After working in PV on this dataset I saved the state to a .pvsm file. When I try to load this state back in in a fresh PV session the following things happen:

1. I get a "Fix Paths in State File" dialog. The .xmf file in the edit box exists and is the correct one. The path in the .pvsm file is also correct. It's a bit of a mystery why the paths should need fixing in this case.

2. Pressing OK (or even cancel) in the fix path dialog continues loading the state. I can see from strace output that the hdf5 file gets fully loaded, the memory usage also shows this. However, when loading is completed all the memory is freed again. Even though the xmf file is present as a source in the pipeline browser and the pipeline itself is also correctly recreated the xmf dataset actually has 0 points and cells.



I attached the relevant state file and xmf file. The corresponding hdf5 is far too big, but perhaps a zero-filed (or random) 1024x512x512 is also enough to reproduce.
PS: I can't test the behavior with 3.10.0 because of bug 0012014.
No tags attached.

FYI, the "Fix filepath dialog allows you to change the data file if you want to load the state on a different dataset than that specified in the state file.

Earlier, users had to manually edit the state file for this very common use-case. Now they simply change the paths in the dialog.
