No, but it could be a bug/misfeature in the software you are using for
recording. It could be related to an integer overflow when using a
32-bit signed integer to keep track of file size or something similar.
In C, an 'int' would compile to a 32-bit or 64-bit variable according to
the word size of the target machine. As other possible causes don't
seem to apply, this seems likely.

Can you try the recording with the same command line options on a
64-bit OS, and with a 64-bit version of the same recording software?
