found 606224 0.8a-1
thanks


Since there was no more feedback from the bug reporter, I tried to 
reproduce this on my own. I don't have access to a ppc machine, but 
managed to get a Debian Wheezy running in a QEMU-emulated big-endian 
MIPS machine, on which I could reproduce the problem with oggvideotools 
0.8a-1. So far I haven't tried any other versions because I'd have to 
compile them from source, which can be a pain in the emulator. But 
judging from the diff between 0.8a-1 and the current version 0.8a-3, the 
problem is probably still present (if oggvideotools is the actual 
culprit, and not some underlying library).

Cheers,
Martin
