Okay, as the output from my previous mail would suggest, the problem
wasn't that the string wasn't null-terminated; rather, it was that the
string was a little too null-terminated.  Since print uses the C-side
printf facility, it saw this string:

foo\0\0\0\0...was created or renamed

And only printed until the first NULL.  My solution was simple: use
lua_pushstring instead.  Linux filenames can't have NULL in them
anyway, right?

Updates have been pushed to GitHub.
