since strtoul() should return 0 on an empty string, I think it will be
safe to change the instances of '(,)' to '(0,0)' in the driver source
code, even if it's not too clear to me what it does...

I've found three, two on "convert.c" and one on "results.c"

now if some one can put the changes upstream...

thanks.
