-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
If the argument to openFile contains a null byte, right now it silently
truncates everything after the null byte. This could lead to a
vulnerability if the programmer relies on the presence of an extension
such as ".cfg" to prevent people from reading in, say, /etc/passwd.
