Interesting update - this must be a bug in fluidsynth somewhere.

I just bought a new GM digital piano and it's banks interpret the MIDI
data fine - the songs sound correct.  It seems like my guess about
SysEx (or some other kind of) data being interpreted as note events.

Do any of you guys that said you had seen the same problem have some
MIDI hardware to test on?  I'd be curious to see if you hit the same
thing.  Would be worth a bug report on fluidsynth.

Thanks, let me know!
