There is NO such thing as filenames containing 0x00 inside the filename.
UNIX filenames are strings in C meaning and may contain any 8-bit values
except "/" which delimits the subdirectory names and 0x00 which marks
the end of filename string.
At least it was so when I first met Unix, and I hope Bill Gates never
influenced Unix since this time.
