What version?

Assuming this is current CVS, this looks like another case of
gettext("").  For someone who has the time, this should be very easy
to track down.  Just add a wrapper to gettext() that calls abort() if
msgid is an empty string, and then inspect the core dump.  I'd do it
myself if I had the time (and used the GTK client).
