The XPORT format specifies that the file is padded with b' ' to ensure the total file length (in bytes) is a multiple of 80. If there are no numeric columns and the last row consists of only empty strings or strings with only spaces, these are indistinguishable from the XPORT file padding.

This appears to be a defect in the XPORT format specification. Wontfix?
