| Paul,
| 
| There were a couple of problems in the 1.0 release that caused this sort of
| error. x86 by default masks these floating point exceptions, so sometimes they
| creep into releases (the developers don't have regular access to machines
| where this is a problem - primarily alpha, though there may be some other
| platforms where this happens - and testing sometimes doesn't get done as
| thoroughly as we'd like).
| 
| Anyway, this is fixed in cvs, so please use that (we'll hopefully be doing a
| 1.0.1 release fairly soon, with this and many other bugs fixed).

Ok, thanks for the quick reply ;)

I'm wondering, does this mean that using oggenc on i386 platforms will
work but create bad OGG's ?

Just curious ;)
