dup() isn't aware of the NUL since that's outside the slice of
the string. It only copies the chars in "John". You can use
toStringz to ensure NUL termination:

Is there something bad than just casting it to `char*` that I
should be aware of?
External C libraries expect strings to be null terminated, so if
you do use `.dup`, use `.toStringz` as well.
