ByteBuffer#put_cstring truncates symbols at first null byte

      Symbols in Ruby can include null bytes, but put_cstring assumes the symbols can be converted to null terminated strings. As a result, serializing a symbol using this method when the symbol contains null bytes truncates the data.

      The proposed fix, to avoid behavior changes, is to raise ArgumentError when the symbol contains null bytes.
