  That's not a bug, it's a feature! (In this case, anyway)

  Use a simple utility(dd comes to mind) to strip the header off the .wav 
file, and write the rest to .au .

  Then use another utility (sox?) to read the .au file, which will read the 
entire file since it doesn't have any bogus header data to convince it 
otherwise, and write out a .w64 file.
