The main difference is that moocow's conversion of a message into a string appends a 0 at the end of the created list.
Most likely it shouldn't, unless it uses the 0 as separator or terminator in what could be any number of strings in the same message.
If the intent is that there can only be one string per list, then the 0 is superfluous, as in pd, "a list knows its own length", which is usually not the case in C/C++, and which is the reason for the terminator. This reason does not exist in Pd nor most other programming languages.
