So it sounds like this should be a vorbis bug insofar as the libraries 
are coded with a function that is buggy under Windows, which could be 
fixed relatively easily by switching to alloc/free calls instead? Other 
Windows clients using these libraries could presumably cause the same 
corruption that I had.
