Crash when `compute_normals`

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug, what’s wrong, and what you expect:

When calculating normals, the interpreter silently crashes… No error’s or output, not even with the VTKErrorCatcher. can anyone please enlighten me what happens in this minimal example?

To Reproduce

Please include a code snippet to reproduce the bug in the block below:

import pyvista
import numpy as np

xyz = np.random.random(102*3).reshape(-1,3)
faces = np.arange(102*3)
np.random.shuffle(faces)
faces = faces.reshape(-1,3)
faces = np.column_stack((np.ones(len(faces),) * 3, faces)).astype(int)

mesh = pyvista.PolyData()
mesh.points = xyz
mesh.faces = faces
print(mesh.compute_normals(inplace=False))

System Information: Please run the following code wherever you are experiencing the bug and paste the output below. This report helps us track down bugs and it is critical to addressing your bug:
