Description: PyFLag fails to open PST file.

Pyflag fails to open a PST file that outlook XP/2003 can deal with.

debug_fp is NULL
unknown index structure. Could this be a new Outlook 2003 PST file?

Scudette: We use libpst to handle PST files. There is a native PST binary parser starting to appear but its not quite finished. Maybe we should look into updating for the latest libpst version in the interim.
