Hey folks,
I'm working on a client for apple's daap protocol (iTunes music 
sharing).  And it uses UTF8 string encoding when sending strings across 
the network, so I frequently use NSString's stringWithUTF8String: 
length: (or initWithUTF8String: length:), and it usually works just 
fine.
But sometimes there is some extra garbage at the end of the NSString.  
For instance:
The string "Hip Hop" (no quotes) sometimes becomes "Hip Hop@"  and 
"Comedic" is sometimes "Comedic@id"
"Top 25 Most Played"  comes out as "Top 25 Most Played19"  and so on.

I'm pretty sure I have the length and everything set correctly.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
thanks
aaron
