Rewriting is probably a good idea, when I first wrote the importer I used it to import ONE (rather large) file, and most files that where not exported/created by the same program as that file will probably not work very well.

Just took a look again, and both DXF importers I looked at last time (when I decided to write my own) are now available (under usable license).
They are here: http://www.ribbonsoft.com/en/what-is-dxflib and here: https://bitbucket.org/Coin3D/coin/wiki/Home (part of bigger project, should be possible to extract the DXF part, documentation for the DXF part is here: http://doc.coin3d.org/dime/)
It's probably a better idea to use one of those than to try to write everything from scratch (DXF files are rather complicated)

dg0yt reported on Sourceforge [tickets:#204]:
Working with a real-world DXF file of 60 MB size, Mapper did not import any object. This is now fixed, resulting in app. 60000 objects being created by import.
In addition, I added support for properly closing paths which are marked as closed in the DXF file.
In the long term, I'm probably going to rewrite the DXF import from scratch.
