> Key: ARROW-1992

> pyarrow: 0.8.0
> Reporter: Victor Uriarte

> When trying to read back a table, Python crashes when pyarrow is used to
> read/convert a table that has a column of 0 length `strings and
> strings_to_categorical=True`. Example code below.
> This same test ran ok with pyarrow 0.7.1
> {code:none}
> import pandas as pd
> import pyarrow as pa
> df = pd.DataFrame({
> 'Foo': ['A', 'A', 'B', 'B', 'C'],
> 'Bar': ['A1', 'A2', 'B2', 'D3', ''],
> 'Baz': ['', '', '', '', ''],
> })
> table = pa.Table.from_pandas(df)
> df = table.to_pandas(strings_to_categorical=False) # Works
> print('Categoricals=False', len(df))
> df = table.to_pandas(strings_to_categorical=True) # Crashes
> print('Categoricals=True', len(df))
> {code}
