OK.

I experimented with this as well:

 i = data.index(/[^\000]/)
 if i
   @file.pos = @pos + i
   @file.write(data.gsub(/^\000*|\000*$/, ""))
 end

In theory, it could give better results. But, of course, it is
definitely slower: 10.6 seconds instead of 9.5 seconds for one
particular test.

I'll stick to "unless data.count("\0") == data.size".
