I don't agree with this approach -- I think you should be able to turn
off the warning completely, so I am not interested in testing the patch.
In the script where I ran into this problem, I simply suppressed the
warning using 2>&-, and that's what I will continue to do if I will
knowingly read files that contain null bytes.
