Custom fields never import

[Matthias de MAUROY - CYIM]

When importing contacts with custom fields, almost all of them never gets imported.

After some search I found that this static function => CRM_Core_BAO_CustomField::formatCustomField receive an array ($customFormatted) by reference.

Line 2110 of CRM_Contact_BAO_Contact.php

In my case it returns empty's sub-arrays for almost every custom field.

By using the return of the function like this => $foo = CRM_Core_BAO_CustomField::formatCustomField in addition to the referenced variable.

And by adding this line just before line 2182 => $data['custom'] = $foo;

I managed to solve it.

Hope it's ok this way
