Subject: [PATCH] Fix crash "Name must not be empty!" (#182)

Not sure why PythonNet was getting this exception.  Running my module with `python -m mymodule` would work fine.  Anyways, I debugged a bit and the attached change fixed my issue.

Please note this is a quick hack, just to keep my project going and it worked.  I have no idea of the underlying cause and do not want to investigate but if you think my change is not risky you may want to merge as it does fix this issue (or at least hides the issue).

A quick [Google](https://www.google.com.au/search?num=100&q="Name+must+not+be+empty%21"+PythonNet) shows that I'm not the first to get this exception.

Exception Details:
```
