It is more than not displaying them.  They are interpreted by many 
functions as the end of the string.  (I checked to see if it was 
end of line, and it seems to be end of string.)  You can still get 
the data with htmlText, but "the length of" and "char n of" do not 
work on the actual field itself.  Also, you can put a variable 
containing a string with a null into a field, put it back and have 
a different value in the variable.

(And I take back my wisecrack about null terminated strings; they 
have a place in C programming.)
