I would like to pick up this issue to ask a different question. IIRC, it is not possible to store strings that contain NUL bytes, i.e., strings in FastBit are NUL-terminated. However, if the offsets are already stored in the .sp files, we have a starting position + length and would be independent of the actual content (which could then contain NUL bytes). Am I overlooking an central piece?
