You're seriously suggesting that the most widely used encoder in the world,
one of the highest rated in almost all tests, and one whose source is all
available has a problem? It isn't unbelievable but is an extraordinary
claim. Compared to a bug that has nothing to do with the encoder or
decoder, I'd wager on the latter.
