 Log Message:
 PR bin/55979
 
 Correctly handle (ie: ignore completely) \0 chars (nuls) in the
 shell command input stream (script, dot file, or stdin).
 
 Previously nul chars were ignored correctly in the line in which
 they occurred, but would cause trailing chars of that line to reappear
 as the start of the following line.   If there was just one \0 skipped,
 this would generally result in an extra \n in the sh input, which in
 most cases has no effect.   With multiple \0's in a single line, more
 of the end of that line was duplicated into the following one.  This
 usually manifested as a weird "command not found" error.
 
 Note that any \0 chars in the sh input make the script non-conforming,
 so fixing this is not crucial (no \0's should really ever be seen) but
 it was an obvious bug in the code, which was attempting to ignore nul
 chars (as do many other shells), so let it be fixed.
