Oops, I did see a mistake with num_args. It should be like this I think:

num_args = 0

if args.empty?
    args = nil
else
    args.unshift(service)
    num_args = args.length
    args = [args.join("\000")].pack('p*')
end

I forgot to add 1 for the service name.

The only problem is, now it segfaults. :(
