\000 in "octets" attribute?

Ah. Then you are in the unlucky position that you are not allowed to send a 
\000 to your NAS. Integer is too long, String may not terminate with a \000.

Seems a bit braindead from the NAS to require that its integers are one octet 
only. Why not take a normal integer and restrict the allowed values to 0-255? 
Are bits a scarce resource where this thing comes from? I'd really like to 
hear what client exactly this is...
