The most likely reason is that the serializer for some element is faulty and
has generate a 0x00 at the end of a field, which has been inserted as element
content.

Open the text up in a hex editor and check for 0x00.  If there is a 0x00 then
delete it, and get the generating software fixed up.

The other possibility is that when reading the document in, you have gone
past the end of a stream and continued to read: a null 0x00 can come
along in that case.

A slight possibility is that the database is corrupt, and a text field has a null
in it.  Fix the database.

Cheers
Rick Jelliffe
