That's strange. How have you determined this? The code in 
stomp_frame.erl always generates a NUL byte for transmission, and other 
STOMP clients seem to have no trouble.

My guess is the latter, but I have no suggestions as to how it might be 
taking place!

Good point. This was pointed out recently by someone else, too. It's a 
bug in my STOMP framing implementation, I think (although the protocol 
spec is perhaps a bit ambiguous).
