What is contained in the StringBuilder? You don't have binary data
(like null characters) embeded in there do you? It might be helpful to
show the source of the data in the StringBuilder...

Not binary data per se, I *am* reading a binary file, byte by byte, and
if the byte is within the range of ASCII (32 - 127) it appeands the CHR
of it to the stringbuilder.
