Aren't those all due to the issue of including the terminating null
byte in a packed string?  And if so, I wonder whether indeed the null
byte should be included, since that means you cannot handle strings
that include null bytes as part of the payload, not as terminators.

Can you tell why you are convinced the null byte should be considered
as part of the string?

Thanks.
