Shouldn't this be backpatched, or was this a new bug in 9.0?
We've always output bytes. I'd have noticed the discrepancy myself if I'd read the actual docs ;-)
KB would be more useful. And I don't think people have enough scripts built on this yet to make this break anything. We should backport to 8.4.
