#214 gerbv crashes when I try to "reload layer" after I delete the layer.

[Ryan Jensen]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run Gerbv.
2. load a layer (ex: myGerber.gbr)
3. delete layer file (myGerber.gbr) using Windows Explorer.
4. attempt to reload the layer in Gerbv.
5. ...
6. Gerbv will crash in short order.

I found this bug while running Gerbv on Windows 7.

version information:

gerbv -- a Gerber (RS-274/X) viewer.

This is gerbv version 2.6.1

This is the first time Gerbv has crashed for me.
It seems like a pretty solid program other than this one little thing!

Could you please check this problem with static beta build?

I tested it using Windows 7 (albeit, on a different computer with different files).
The program gave me an error message in the "message" log rather than crashing.
The bug does not appear to exist here.
