Testing seems to indicate that when killing, Emacs doesn't properly  
put the null or following characters in the pasteboard.

When manually putting test\0yo in the pasteboard, Emacs will only yank  
the characters up to the null.

However, properly handling this is possible. Both TextMate and MacVim  
properly paste the characters, including the null.

For testing with this problem, the OS X command-line tools 'pbpaste'  
and 'pbcopy' are useful for examining the contents of the OS X  
pasteboard.
