Oops, didn't notice I was using the Deb Multimedia version of the package.
Sorry about that.

In any case, the bug is also present in 2.2.6-1 and 2.3.7-1.  I checked stable
(2.2.4-1) and it's there too.


I did notice one additional detail, however: the bug doesn't show up if the
problem file is the only one in the directory, or if there are only a couple
others.  It seems to need a large number of other files in the directory to make
the error occur.
