-    Merge pull request #243 from Sjc1000/master
+    vterm: Fix handling of NUL characters
     
-    Fixed Terminal widget crashes with Python3
+    According to the VT100 programmers manual, the NUL character has to be
+    ignored (at least on our side, because we are not a printer):
+    
+    http://vt100.net/docs/tp83/appendixb.html
+    
+    According to the bug reporter the VMS console driver inserts NUL
+    characters after line feeds and our implementation prints those as "?".
+    
+    Tested against Python 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5.
