Great, so 2147483647, would be the unsigned 32-bit int rollover, and the choking occurs 166,447 less than that. I guess maybe that difference could be overhead of some kind.

The mysteries then remaining are:

1) what is choking at that point (oggdec or oggenc)
2) why it is choking, and
3) why nobody has solved or even seen this problem before in the last 14 years.
