What about something like this:

     zmq::message_t msg ((size_t) RSTRING (data_)->len);
     memcpy (msg.data (), (void*) RSTRING (data_)->ptr,
     	RSTRING (data_)->len);

(Actually, thinking about it, it seems that size_ argument of send 
function is not needed at all.)

Would that work for you?
