Humm, turns out there's still a problem, using print was covering up some 
problems.

function get_key(key_::Ptr{Uint8}, key_length_::Ptr{Cint})
    key_length = unsafe_load(key_length_)
    key = bytestring(key_, key_length*4)
    show(key)
    println()
    return key
end

Gives an output of 

"T\0\0\0e\0\0\0s\0\0\0t\0\0\0 
\0\0\0S\0\0\0t\0\0\0r\0\0\0i\0\0\0n\0\0\0g\0\0\0"

I can see where this is coming from due to the wide char being 32 
characters instead of 8, eg. 4 times along, but i can't see a performant 
(and this kind of needs to be) way of converting this to a sane string.

I need some kind of function to tell julia to look over 32 bits not 8 as at 
creates the string, but I can't see how, I guess bytestring is doing what 
it says on the tin and looking byte by byte.

I'm on 64 bit Ubuntu 14.03.
