This is probably because of the ASCI NUL characters in the
Test_invalid_redir() function, which cause git/hg to detect this file as
non-ascii and therefore creates this binary patch. In git, one could
mark it as text, but not sure if a patch would then still work if it
affects those characters. On the other hand, I would hope, that git/hg
is hopefully fine importing such a binary patch.
