[Gmsh] 2D mesh error message

[Mikhail Artemyev]

Hi Yao-Cheng,

I was able to build the meshes for all these 3 files and RandomFactor=1e-6:
10K on Linux Mint 64bit, gmsh 2.8.5
50K on Linux Mint 64bit, gmsh 2.8.5
100K on Mac OS X 64bit, gmsh 2.8.4 (but I think it will work on Linux as 
well)

Best,
Mikhail
