Public bug reported:

If the server sends a GMCP event with just the name and no payload,
json_to_value is given "" as data and it errors out.

It worked in 2.1 previously, broken in 3.0. First reported at
http://forums.mudlet.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4610&start=70#p22035.

This in particular breaks gmcp.Core.Ping functionality on IRE servers
(https://github.com/keneanung/GMCPAdditions#coreping)... however as
Mudlet has
http://wiki.mudlet.org/w/Manual:Networking_Functions#getNetworkLatency
which imho is better, I don't think it's a big one for IRE games.

Nonetheless, some other servers could be using this for more important
data and it could be a serious issue for them.
