Line 1288 of database.bmx (in bah.database) might be the reason :
If the ascii value of the character is zero, it skips it.
I'm guessing that was done so that when the end of a string was found (usually ascii 0) before the end of the length of the data retrieved for the string, it would just skip on til it got to the end.
You might like to comment it out, and see how you get on with general usage without it - although you may find your "normal" strings have issues.
Either way, please let me know how you get on :-)
