   This finally explains why I kept triggering a bug on BeeBS a year or two ago -   
   with CR -> CRLF disabled MuffinTerm was sending NULs after the CR and I could   
   never work out why.   
      
   To be fair I didn't try that hard to work it out, I just switched CR -> CRLF   
   on and Vela fixed the bug as well for good measure.   
      
   But, yeah - thanks for sharing :)
