That's just your assumption. Track back up the thread and you'll see that 
the OP didn't mention an OS. He merely said that he was using zlib, and 
getting unfortunate results when he handled its output, so he could have 
been using any OS.
 
Rhodri James assumed that the OS was Windows, but it wasn't until the
6th post that Steven D'Aprano mentioned Unix and null characters.

I got sucked into the null trap - sorry - because I actually meant to 
generalise the discussion into ways of getting a range of unwanted 
characters into a file name and why its unwise to use a filename without 
checking it for characters the OS doesn't like before creating a file 
with it.
