The function wrote the string to the BIO, but not the terminator (just as you wouldn't write the terminator to a file). You then got a pointer to the data in the BIO. The same thing would occur if you memory-mapped a file containing the string. It wouldn't be terminated. If you need to the data in the form of a C-style string, you need to make it one. You could simply write a zero to the BIO, I suppose.
