Node.js had a bug in versions 8.X and 9.X which caused buffers to not be
initialized when the encoding for the fill value did not match the encoding
specified. For example, ‘Buffer.alloc(0x100, “This is not correctly
encoded”, “hex”);’ The buffer implementation was updated such that the
buffer will be initialized to all zeros in these cases.
