Subject[PATCH] test_power: don't access invalid memory on empty map keys
Date
When providing an empty key to map_get_value() we'd access invalid memory
because the function assumed there would at least be one character total
in the string.

Passing an empty string would access and could possibly overwrite the byte
right before the key string.
