That's not what I said. I said, TRY to create a file with a null byte in
the name, the implication being that you *can't do it*.
Okay, I accept that I muddied the water by also mentioning file names
with newlines in them, which can be created but cause havoc. But the
distinction was clear in my head, and if I can't expect people to read my
mind, then the terrorists will have won!
