Thanks again for all the testing.
This exposed a portability problem with the test suite: it assumed
that "tr" in the C locale would not elide NUL bytes. But Solaris
11.3's tr would do precisely that: remove any NUL byte:

$ printf '\0'|wc -c
       1
$ printf '\0'|tr -d \\r |wc -c
       0

Here's the patch I've just pushed:
