Thanks for working up the patch -- it works for my target.

However, I must say that I'm not crazy about the idea that
we decide whether or not to send leading zeroes based on
whether the target is multi-process.  Seems orthogonal
and ad hoc.

If your targets will choke on the leading zeros, then
you have just as strong a case as I do.   ;-)

However, if you're just doing it to save a few bytes of
data over the serial line, I question whether it's worth it.
