Windows MySql bug caused by default text field value

On Windows mysql 5.1.35-community, The process of adding the field_xx_params column to e.g. content_type_video (when adding the video player field to the content type) throws a sql error:

MySQL: BLOB/TEXT column 'field_xx_params' can't have a default value...

The fix is on line 47 of mediafron_field.inc in the mediafront_field_settings function: change

case 'database columns':
return array('params' => array('type' => 'text', 'size' => 'medium', 'default' => '', 'sortable' => FALSE));
}

to be

case 'database columns':
return array('params' => array('type' => 'text', 'size' => 'medium', 'sortable' => FALSE));
}

dunno if that will effect the linux mysql tho...
