This werk resolves a problem with incomplete output from the Windows agent mk_inventory plugin. Previously, the mk_inventory plugin used the null character (ASCII 0) as a field separator, which could cause the plugin execution to stop and only partial data to be delivered. As a fix, the separator was changed to the Unit Separator (ASCII 31), which prevents this issue.
