dxf plugin crashes QGIS

[pcav]

When opening a dxf, I get: Warning: Qt has caught an exception thrown from an event handler. Throwing exceptions from an event handler is not supported in Qt. You must reimplement QApplication::notify() and catch all exceptions there.

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'

what(): basic_string::substr

Unable to reproduce on a Mac. I tried adding various things to a valid dxf but the reader seems very good at ignoring unexpected input and still doing something reasonable.

Added application-wide exception handler for uncaught events in r9319. It will display an alert rather than crashing and may allow you to continue working if the unsuccessful load doesn't create an unstable layer.

The problem derives by the lack of an output layer. If I insert it, everything works. However, the error message: basic_string::substr is not very helpful - could you please change it with something like "Please select a name for the output layer". With this modification, the bug can be closed.

I confirm that if you forget to select an output file, the message given is

basic_string::substr

that as a matter of fact should be changed with something different. Should be a pretty easy bug to fix.
