+Subject: [PATCH] Fix test suite in combination with bash 4.4
+
+Until bash 4.4, variables were silently stripped of NUL bytes; with Bash 4.4
+this results now for every single 0-byte that is being stripped in a warning:
+
+./test: line 170: warning: command substitution: ignored null byte in input
+
+We now simply strip the NUL bytes before we have bash assign the values to
+a variable. The result is the same.
