Bug while exporting encrypted columns

Hi,

I've recently upgraded to 9.4, however there is some serious bug while exporting binary columns with encrypted values into text file - all gets malformed.

I had to move back about 11 months to 9.3 for now (don't know when that bug was introduced).

I'm sure Anse will need to know what "encrypted column" means exactly. As far as I know, it's not a native concept neither in MySQL nor in HeidiSQL. (If you don't mean MySQL, you should also say what your DBMS is.)

Encrypted values, stored in the DB as binary data ( usually stored as VARBINARY or BLOB ). Not sure about other DBMS but MySQL has native support for encryption via aes_encrypt and aes_decrypt functions.

Export usually (Heidi 9.3) looks like this:

(1, _binary 0x7CF9E42A3EEE064633780DB29695AD7D43204D6FCF7175A949D85E16336E4F8CBCAEC43403E050E220893FC01D36A2F4, when the new one exports something like this:

(1, '[binary content broken and removed]',

PS. This might be related to the libraries supplied, cos installing 9.3 and running 9.4 binary from same directory works fine.
