GMT crashes when ogr2ogr fails to do the conversion

[seisman]

To convert a shapefile to OGR/GMT format, ogr2ogr needs the data file (.shp) and some metadata files (e.g., .shx）. If the .shx file is not found, org2ogr fails to do the conversion, then GMT crashes. GMT should catch the failure and report an error, instead of crashing.

$ gmt plot @RidgeTest.shp -pdf map
