assertion fails on DSPF

I am having problems with an assertion failing when DSPF is used on a
OS/400 development release, it blows up right away. I contacted the owner
of the DSPF command to see what had changed, and below is his response.

Thanks!

Steve,

I think I figured what is causing your emulator to fail.  From the trace
file it looks like the emulator dies when it tries to read EBCDIC codepoint
0x09.  This character is the result of one of the changes that was made to
DSPF/EDTF.  The program is designed to take all characters less than 0x40
and replace them with a 0x09 for the purpose of being displayed to the
screen.  There is a control character at the end of the each file name, in
this case "/dev/qsh-stdin-null", that is being replace with a 0x09.
Previously the value was 0x16, but we were having problems with the
character being displayed so we changed it to 0x09.  It looks like the
emulator doesn't know how to handle codepoint 0x09.  Hopefully, this is
helpful.  If you have any more questions let me know.
