For the flag "log_backtrace_at" the flag expects "" for an empty value when
calling Set(), but .String() will return ":0" when the value is empty. This
results in a different "emtpy" value being generated by String() than is
accepted by Set().

The following code will reproduce the issue.

*Output from process:*
Value: ":0"
Setting flag returned error: syntax error: expect file.go:234

*Code Snippet:*

package main

import (
  "flag"
  "fmt"

  "github.com/golang/glog"
)

func main() {
  flag.Parse()

  lba := flag.Lookup("log_backtrace_at")
  if lba == nil {
    glog.Fatalf("Needs to depend on glog")
  }
  fmt.Printf("Value: \"%s\"\n", lba.Value.String())
  err := lba.Value.Set(lba.Value.String())
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("Setting flag returned error: %s\n", err)
  }
}
