The "nulls file" test is failing, due to the NUL characters not

had time to investigate further.


i can take a look at this (finally).  when i first saw this mail, i
assumed the problem was an interaction with the test framework due
to tool differences (i.e., diff) on netbsd.

but now re-reading, i'm not sure i understand.  is diff's choking a
secondary effect, or is it the primary failure?

if the failure is with the base64 encoding, do you have any guesses
as to why that might be?
