Then have a look at the line 377617 and check whether its content is important. The following command shows the line on the terminal. Loading it into an interactive editor seems not to be an option due to the size of the file
sed -n '377617 p; 377617 q'
Then you can decide what to do.

Hi Holger
There are 8mil lines, the file is not in / , i just removed the other parts.
How many lines has the file? Maybe line 377617 is the last one.
If so, you can just remove the last line containing this 0x00. The following command can do this for you:
sed -i '$ d' /outputfile.csv
May I remark that having a file in the / directory is a bit awkward? This directory should not be writable by any user (except root, and root doesn't fiddle with files for a database).
