I was wrong, it is the encoder that is not working, and it stopped working 
in build 11103.  The log message for this build is "another 640 bytes 
removed from the encoder state (using the input data instead of copying it 
to st->frame/st->inBuf)".  Only nb_celp.c/h are changed in this build.  What 
I am seeing out of the decoder is an extremely low signal (sample values of 
+/-10, in this build, by build 11126 the output is almost all zeros).

It may be a compiler hiccup in scaling/shifting, or else somehow the pointer 
to the data has been trashed.  I tried scaling the input data up by a factor 
of 10, and this affected the output, but it is still just low amplitude 
noise.  I will look some more tomorrow.  Maye the first place that I should 
look is at line 782, "/*FIXME: This is a kludge that will break eventually 
*/.
