Try using StringBuilder instead of byte[] on the C# side.  The
marshaller should convert this to/from a char* and do
null-termination.  Make sure you construct it as "new
StringBuilder(100)" before passing it to the unmanaged function.

I'd say the effects of the issues with your code do expose an MD bug.
Try Console.WriteLine("foo\0bar") and see if MD shows the "bar".  If
not then this could be considered a bug.
