This is a bug if for no other reason than it always emits at least one byte.
I also don't like the busy wait.

<soapbox>Stuff like *DATA++ reminds me of why C is so evil in the first
place.  It's bad enough that the language allows you to put three separate
things into one statement, but even worse when someone writes code like
that.  No optimizations would have been lost by writing this as two lines:

  data++;           //advance to next character in string
  } while (*data);  //back to handle next character

C has encouraged a whole generation of programmers to write cutesy obtuse
code.</soapbox>
