You could fix it by editing the binary if the binary isn't doesn't build
the string in a complicated way.  E.g.,

	echo '/usr/s/usr/var/
	      w netscape.bin.test' | ed netscape.bin

correctly replaces the first `usr' by `var'.  vi is almost as 8-bit clean.
It appends a newline.  There are several binary editors in ports which
might be able to handle this better (a binary editor should be able to
edit /dev/mem and /dev/rsd0...).
