Ah, you didn't mention that last one, MD5 mismatch, in your first mail.

I haven't been able to pinpoint the cause of this error, (I'm able to 
reproduce it) but it certainly is no tagging issue, which I thought at 
first, so a corruption seems the cause.  However, corruption happening 
with a lot of files, all in the last few percent, that cannot be 
coincidence. I'm definitely going to look into this, probably tomorrow 
or somewhere this weekend, as trying to decode the file "by hand" to 
find the error takes a lot of time.

Could you please send me the output of metaflac --list as well, in 
particular the vendor string from the VORBIS_COMMENT block, I'm curious 
which encoder produced this.
