It looks like you are passing the empty string to gettext(). When you
do that, GNU gettext() returns the header entry. This is a feature.
If you want to use the empty string instead, you have to do it
explicitly:

    const char *str = ,,,;
    if (str[0] != '\0')
      str = gettext(str);

Note that the header entry is necessary for several of the
gettext-0.10.38 features. gettext-0.11 will not ignore header entry
even if it is marked fuzzy.
