Running namcap against [1] sdlpop it crashes with this error:

I think the reason for the error is that some of these [2] files start with !#
but are data files in some kind of binary format.

For example [3] res2012.bin (opened with nano) starts with:

#!#^@^@^@^@##^K44^T^@


I don't know if it's relevant, but when I open that file with kate, kate complains:

res2012.bin was opened with UTF-8 encoding but contained invalid characters.


I attached a PKGBUILD to reproduce the error with that file.


Package Version:
namcap 3.2.7-1

Steps to reproduce:
- build sdlpop from AUR and run namcap against it
- or use the attached PKGBUILD
