This was caused by us using tango.stdc.stringz.toStringz to convert from a D string to a C string. The C Stringz is terminated by a null character "\0". The problem is that binary data can have "\0" anywhere is wants. So it would see these and think the string was shorter than it actually was.

The solution is to use .prt to convert char[] to char*, and send the length.
