I wondered about something like this but thought if there's a way of 
avoiding the extra step it would keep the execution speed up.
My next thought was to pass a custom encoder to the open() that 
translates NULLs to, say, 0x01. It won't make any difference to change 
one corrupt value to a different corrupt value.
