This is mainly an issue with dynamic loading in SDL2 which ends up re- loading libmirclient twice.

Meaning the static variables aren't being re-inited. Protobuf uses a static variable for an empty string optimization which ends up becoming a dangling pointer: back trace: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24133152/ valgrind: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24133156/ The workaround/fix that we saw was to re-set that static variable which will let the empty string be init'd correctly.
