In the Network Manager source code in

src/NetworkManagerPolicy.c

The issue is in function "update_etc_hosts". If Network Manager sees that /etc/hosts is empty it puts an invalid /etc/hosts .. it's on line 318 of the network manager in karmic (0.8).

When this gets run I'm trying to figure out. But this is where Network Manger is generating the invalid /etc/hosts file
