Null byte in source physical file

I encountered the oddest thing the other day ... I found a source
physical file member, of DDS source for a print file (created RLU, I
think), that had a null byte (x'00') in the MIDDLE of a record.

It was on one of the marker lines ... "A*%%RI 00000".  The null byte was
at the end of the text (after the last 0).

This was NOT a fluke either ... a bunch of DDS source files encountered
have this null byte.

The source members are pretty old (created as demo data for
Implementer), so I don't know if it was the remnants of a bug in RLU, or
what.

Pretty weird.
