I've now seen this on 4 different servers I have helped, and it doesn't appear to be causing any problems by being present, but is likely a side effect of a problem that hasn't been recognized yet. I have no idea how those are being set - any lua script that tries to set a variable without a string for its name results in a debug break, and I have seen no crashes explaining these as having been that sort of mistake. Not a single one, and that is a lot of chars with this blank variable.

Any ideas?

Hmm, I don't see those.
Here is my sql dump file, so you can see if there is anything else that seems like a carryover that should be reconfigured and wiped.
All mine have something:

Any ideas?

are you sure it's not a string your viewer can't display?

that begs 2 questions, 1, what strings are all of workbench (orfficial mysql tool) navicat and heidi unable to display, and 2, what the heck could we possibly have named a var that would be undisplayed like that?

you can dump it to find out I think (navicat can't even display hex blobs half the time)

Dump output shows that field empty.
(I dumped from command line)
