Hi,
ffmpeg maintainers: this bug should really be fixed in Lenny, or it's
bound to come up again and again over the lifetime of Lenny.

Yes, it's been fixed, from the bug log you can see the fix went in on
2008-07-18 in r14281. Which is a few days after the snapshot you've
got on your machine, unfortunately.
So yes, it's fixed in the version we have in Squeeze (same as
unstable).

Yes, the cover art itself is at 71000+ bytes on this very file :)

The patch in the bug log is not the final patch, I think; you should
look at their r14281 and apply that instead. And actually this should
be fixed in a Lenny point release for the benefit of all the ffmpeg
users in Lenny for the upcoming 2 years...

You're welcome. I'm glad it was just that :)
