I've used the following to correct directory entries with unprintable
characters.  I don't know if it will work with the NULL.

	ls -i D*		to get the inode number
	find . -inum number -exec mv {} new_name \;

You might want to verify that the inode number is unique if you have
multiple filesystems, if they are subdirs of `.'
