string:32 - the object_id.  The BLOB is a serialized array, pretty much 
as you described.  Use serialize/unserialize to work with the data.  In 
Turba 2.0.X, it will be an array of object_ids.  In Turba 2.1.X, it 
will be in the form of arrays, with the keys being the address book 
source, and the values being the object_ids.
