I think #- may be one of the streams the ms compilers insert
in the binary in some cases (maybe it's the uncompressed metadata 
tables stream?).
The format of such a table is not in the standard, so we'll likely have
to just skip it.
An url for the binary would help, though it would be better if you
posted the command line switches to create a binary with such a stream.
Is it the /incremental switch?
If anybody knows the format of the #- stream heap or can point at
some documentation, that would be welcome as well (hi MS people!:-).
