I typed ^X^FWidget<SPC>

(I didn't think to do an immediate ^Hl to see if that was *really* what
I typed, so I'm not 100% sure)

Emacs should have displayed another buffer to display the (several) file
completions in.  It did a garbage collection (for what seemed slightly
longer than usual), and returned with:

	Find file: ..^@.^@^@^@,^@,^ANK^@^X^@^HMakefile^@

I believe that the first "^@" was in fact a NUL character because when I
hit RETURN, it went into dired mode on the directory ..  I assume that
the other carets in this string also introduce control characters.
There was a file named "Makefile" in the current directory I wanted to
read the initial file from.

I cannot reproduce this bug, and I have never seen it before in nearly a
year of constant daily use of this emacs executable.
