Zero is such a common fallback value when things go wrong that it may
not be the best choice for this test. Consequently, it might be better
to create the bogus object with non-zero length. Take a look at how
'hello_length' and 'hello_sha1' are computed elsewhere in this script
for inspiration.

The first part of this patch contains tests which make use of 'hello_length'
adn 'hello_sha1', but I get what you're saying, will look into it. Thanks.
