I couldn't figure out how to create a file with a NUL
in the name on a FreeBSD system.  I had forgotten that
you couldn't use the alt-numpad trick on DOS-based
systems with 0.  So a NUL would work on DOS, if it
would be hard to read.  Can anyone verify a system on
which NUL can appear in a filename?
