Cartogram crash

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I can get the cartogram to crash consistently (1.0.1 and later betas) on 
different datasets (weimar_a, st_hom) that have an underscore (_) in the file 
and name path. I could stop the crashes for these two shapefiles by moving them 
from a folder called 3_Data to test.

However, I also tried inducing crashes by adding underscores to file names of 
other shapefiles with the same directory path - this didn't work.

I suspect these crashes might be resolved as part of the more general fix to 
allow for special and foreign charactersin file names and paths, so it's 
probably not worth investigating this further but I wanted to log it as another 
instance of the special character problem.

(This is an edge case ;)
Tested on MacOSX 10.6.8
