Description Alexey Proskuryakov 2009-06-22 00:54:30 PDT
StringImpl::copy() should not ever return per-thread empty string, because this function's result is for using on other threads.

This was broken in <http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/41917> - StringImpl::create() has a special case for empty strings, so calling it is not appropriate.
