It takes a special kind of flac--I think it needs to be missing the 
vendor field to fail. According to my (very light) research that field 
might be required, so you probably can't reproduce with the standard 
flac tools.

The Nine Inch Nails download that recently came out has this issue. 
Since it was Creative Commons licensed I can give you a link to my copy:

http://bandwidth.porkrind.org/tmp/month/999,999.flac

It's the intro and is only about 5.5MB.

Even if it is a required field, missing it shouldn't make 
Lib::Audio::Flac crash...

Sorry about that, the version "david1" was the Debian version with my 
fix applied, nothing else. I sent the bug after installing my version 
and confirming that the patch really fixed the problem. The problem 
exists with version 2.0-1.

Thanks,
