This is totally expected. evbuffer_pullup() makes the data continuous, but doesn't change anything to the data itself. It's treated as binary data, not as a zero-terminated string. evbuffer_readln() actually creates a new buffer and copies the data into it, appending an extra zero by the way. Not sure about what you're trying to achieve, but if you can consider data as a buffer pointer + buffer size, it's a good way to improve the overall performance of your app (zero copy) over using C-strings.
