Comment:

 It isn't the job of class path to decide on validity of strings passed to
 it.

 Asian character encodings may have embedded '\0' characters. Shift-JIS is
 an example, IIRC. If you know the encoding of a string that is going to be
 used as a path, you could check it for validity before passing it to a
 path.

 Thanks,
