Comment(by pramsey):

 Both GUI and CLI carefully strip off the trailing .shp extension by
 walking from the end back to the first '.'

 This is fine, except then shpopen tries the same trick on the string *it*
 receives.

 I think the solution is for our code to stop trying to strip the extension
 and leave it to shpopen to do.
