I think there is a problem there. The 'string_buf' is turned to UNICODE, 
right?

Now have a look at zmq::uuid_t::create_blob function:

     const char *buf = (const char*) string_buf;
     blob_buf [0] = convert_byte (buf + 0);
     ...

So the code accesses the unicode buffer as if it were ASCII buffer and 
tries to convert it into a binary representation of the UUID. I would 
expect it to fail during the convert_byte. Does it work OK for you?
