In your original email you mentioned that you had downloaded the FLAC  
file with these errors; you don't know that the reference encoder was  
used. I mention this because I have encountered such errors with  
third-party encoders. For example, at least one release of Max wrote  
incorrect checksums. (See <http://sbooth.org/tracker/view.php?id=222>  
for details.)
