Yes but why's that of any significance to just the "reporting bugs" part
of Trac?

NULL, NUL, nul, 0, '\0', ends :-)

Just verify that it's semantically correct and isn't generating any
garbage. Testing on a Juniper wouldn't work anyway, the Junos modules
has some serious bugs that make them generate invalid output (e.g.
reordered statements).

We're currently working around them using a post-process filter but
since we actually have a responsive upstream now, we decided to devotge
some time and actually fix them.

Thanks,
