text file containing a \0 character

The attached file is 31 bytes long, and contains (as a C string):

 "Part 1 of 2. {\0} Part 2 of 2.\r\n"

Different editors treat it differently:

WinXP Notepad: \0 character is converted to a space.
Wine Notepad: truncates the file.
Vim: treats \0 properly, displaying it as ^@

How does WinXP Notepad open huge files then? Doesn't the edit control have a
64K limit?
