I haven't heard any other reports of this sort of thing. Vorbis stresses
the hardware (especially the FPU) very hard - probably more so than almost
anything else. I suspect a hardware fault is likely. If you can have
appropriate tools (debugger), and can find where exactly it's crashing,
please do so.
