Sometimes, in different scenarios of releases, grids and solvers, foam crashes during vtk writing of sampled surfaces with errors like:

In this case, the release is the v1606 and the solver is simpleFoam. The writing frequency was set to 10. The first set of cut planes was saved correctly at t=10 and the solver crashed when attempting to write at t=20.
