It could have been you had a file with the problem which is released 
under a Creative Commons licence, but that's not very common. Just asking.

You can do a few things. Reading your previous post, it seems you now 
how to work with a command line, so could you post the output of the 
following two commands:

flac -a -F some_corrupt_file.flac (see the .ana file which is generated)
metaflac --list some_corrupt_file.flac (just the console output)

Plus the exact size (in bytes) of the FLAC-file and the WAV-file that 
you retrieve using flac -d -F some_corrupt_file.flac

You can also try to cut off the last 500kb of the FLAC-file if you are 
using Linux (or other UNIX-like probably, I have no idea how to do this 
in Windows or Mac)
tail -c 500000 some_corrupt_file.flac > tail_cut_off.flac
That's a sample of at most 10 seconds and won't get you into trouble.
