Thanks a lot Rasmus, I have just (wrongly) assumed that the convert_to_string
function tries to search for the 0 termination character.
It doesn't - but, PHP strings always require \0 to be the last
character so you always need to allocate one more byte and put the \0 in
there - even for binary data.
That's not really a PHP requirement, but more of a good convention to
prevent something external from falling off the end of a string. If you
are just working with it internally you don't need it.
