And here's th script I used to test it:
        load("sbbsdefs.js");
        var result = console.inkey(K_NUL, 5000);
        print(typeof result);
        print(result);

I don't have a terminal handy with an obvious method of sending an ASCII NUL (0), but I certainly got different results upon timeout (as expected) when using the new K_NUL mode flag and the new sbbs.
