Yes, this string being auto-created when the entry is blank is probably not a good idea, particularly since this file isn't distributed with Ethereal.
Otherwise, the method of detecting that the file is there and that the error should be reported is still faulty, as is the auto-generation of the string (again, not multi-platform friendly).
Did anyone ever determine where default.tt is supposed to come from in the first place? I don't believe anyone knew the last time I asked.
