Second, this thing is much more annoying, the fastjar jar creates a ^@

A look into the fastjar source I found the place and I modified it to
ommit this ^@. Though, I don't understand the source. Here I'd like to
hear if this is intended behaviour or a possible bug.
Below the diff.
Though you don't mention it, I'm guessing that you're
using vi(m) to view the manifest file. In this case,
ASCII NUL bytes (0x00) are shown as '^@' by the editor
and therefore this is most likely due to "overstorage"
of a string by the program.
That's why your fix fixes this problem.
And here the hex output to show Ranjit's correct statement.
(emacs hexl-mode)
You see the last byte is a NUL we allocated to much.
Hehe, wonderful to have all the different editors :)
