This is fixed in the svn trunk of vorbis-tools [1] as per xiph bug 879 
[2]. Unfortunately, vorbis-tools hasn't seen a release for more than 
two years now and so this change is not included in your copy.

In case your distribution ships a copy of vorbis-tools, please try that 
one as it might include Large File Support. I know Gentoo as well as 
Debian ship LFS-enabled versions of oggenc.


Thanks,

Robert
