Sorry for the late reply, your following email (with the mp3 attached)
never made it to my mailbox and I just noticed it on the BTS :P

Anyway, with your file at hand, I spent quite some time trying to
figure out what was wrong, and it appears that the file is apparently
broken beyond repair. For instance, iTunes reports it with a bitrate
of 48kbps and a playtime of 17 minutes (coherent with the size of the
file). Now, actually playing the file shows it stops around 5'27",
which, given the size of the file, makes for an average BR of 150kbps.
None of the players I tried got any of these values right, and it
seems it's impossible to do so without playing the file in its
entirety, which is out of question with the module.

Thus I've come up with a half-assed solution, which is to 1) avoid the
segfault you've been noticing, and 2) simply ignore the BR/length of
such broken files. Thus, the module will report them with the BR of
the first frame (as id3info does, i.e. 48kbps in the case of this
file) and no length.

That will have to do, after all I hope such broken files are rather rare :)

New release scheduled for the next couple days.
