There have been versions of AppleScript where having it return ASCII 0 as
string crashed the machine - whatever the editor.
I don't know whether this is considered a bug by Apple. If it is, then I
don't know whether it has been fixed in any version of AS. Personally, I
still avoid having a string displayed when it's likely to contain ASCII
0's.
