Summary: dark doesn't work with CustomTables with binary columns

Initial Comment:
The attached .msi file has a custom table that contains 
a binary column. Dark explodes on this with the following 
error message:

badbinary.msi
dark.exe : fatal error DARK0000: Failed to get string from 
record

I've been holding back on fixing this bug as it turns out the 
compiler does not support the compilation of tables with 
binary columns: MsiDigitalSignature.Hash, 
MsiDigitalSignature.CertData, SFPCatalog.Catalog, or 
custom binary columns.

Clearly a bug worth fixing, so it's only a matter of time.
