[Gmsh] Closed loop error in simple 2D mesh

[Vincent Huber]

Line Loop asks for elementary Ids, you are providing the id of elements.
Actually, your msh files does not describe elementary lines :-/

the expression-list on the right hand side should contain the
identification numbers of all the elementary lines that constitute the
line loop.
