[PATCH] randomtrain utility gets confused by spams with null bytes

[Greg Louis]

The randomtrain script invokes grep without the -a option and therefore
fails if a file it needs to process is deemed binary.  Some spam
contains null bytes (hex 00) in the body of the text, and will cause
this failure.
