Octal string exception while importing database

I trying to import a database backup but I’m getting the below error.
I have the latest version (2.5.0.beta4) and rebuild does not work. Please advise.

I pushed a fix. It should be available in the test-passed branch in ~15 minutes

Thank you, the patch at least gets me past the error, but now I’m running into disk space errors. I’ll let you know if it doesn’t import after I fix the disk space errors.
