[JW Lua] FCShapeDef/FCShapeDefs Finale/Windows crashes ... more crashes

I have had some more of these crashes, especially with older Finale 
documents from the 90s.
They were all results of some empty shapes. After removing these empty 
shapes, no more crashes.
Unfortunately I still haven't found a workaround for detecting these 
empty shapes.

Best,
Jan
