CSV parser chokes on UTF-8 BOM (byte order mark)

Look for and remove a UTF-8 BOM (byte order mark). It's a special three byte sequence. It appears as part of the first item. Without handling it, the program cannot find a name heading in the first position.

The BOM is 0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF

Discovered this while processing a database dump from an asset management system.

P. S. Sorry about the late posting and the mangled diff file.
