It's nothing to do with that. It is failing to populate the settings table with the default data. The empty message being shown is because two setting values are false.
main language is being loaded AFTER lang('cms_fatal_error') so the error message is being shown as blank.
I will move that lang loading, but we still need to work out why the hell settings are failing to be populated.
Update: Done. Fixed the crazy MASSIVE SOCIAL BOOKMARKS showing up be default too. I had a settings option that would disable them, but it wasnt checking against it. Ooops.
