Talk about unfair..., if every handler had to institute tids protection,
well, ya know, that would be a lot of, um..., protecting to do.

Did you know that you can do the same thing with the tids?
on GetZeros() -- make a 1024-character string filled with zeros
set str to "00000000"
repeat 7 times
set text item delimiters to "0"
set str to str's text items
set text item delimiters to "00"
set str to "" & str
end repeat
set text item delimiters to {""}
return z
end GetZeros
