My approach to fixing bug 824 was considered sub-optimal by Alexandre.  
I also agree and had intended to get back to this with a better 
solution.  Alexandre wants to maintain to the extent possible textual 
representation of registry data.  I now believe the right approach is to 
simply always explicitly record ascii zeros as '\0' and consistently not 
consider the end-of-string null terminator as part of the registry 
data.  Alas, I've had no time to test out this approach.
