I created a large file ("/tmp/pjbb") by concatenating: 1) a big plain ASCII file of C source code, 2) a small ELF executable, and 3) another big plain ASCII file of C source code.Then I grep'd in this big file for the string "address@hidden <mailto:address@hidden>", whichappeared twice in the first file of C source code, and once again in the second file of C source code.
That example contains NULs, which have indicated binary data for ages. I was referring to text containing encoding errors without containing NULs, which is what this bug report originally was about. Sorry I didn't make that clear.
