Description:
------------
When an Exception class is instantiated and a string contain a nullbyte character ("\0") is used as $message, Exception::getMessage() returns a truncated string (the protected member Exception::$message is truncated as well).

Looks like a duplicate of https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50085 which outlined this as documentation problem. No idea why this is a documentation problem. 



Test script:
---------------
$e = new Exception("test\0me");
echo $e->getMessage();

Expected result:
----------------
output (not displaying non-printable characters):

testme

Actual result:
--------------
output (not displaying non-printable characters):

test

Tested against PHP trunk Revision: 324199 (Windows), there still is truncation on 
the NULL char.

$original = "Null Char \0 Test.";
echo "Original Message..: ", $original, "\n";
$e = new Exception($original);
$processed = $e->getMessage();
echo "Processed Message.: ", $processed, "\n";
