Comment(by wmb at firmworks.com):

 At the kernel syscall interface, the filename representation is the C
 string format - address of null-terminated string.  That format cannot
 transport a string that *contains* a null - the extra null would just
 terminate the string.

 It is therefore likely that the problem is inside the kernel, rather than
 a userspace app passing in a bogus string.
