The only mysterious thing for me is that when I encode the files, I use the -V flag to verify the encoding. I wonder if EAC doesn't check the return code from the flac command when it kicks off the encoding. I always review the output logs of EAC before assuming the files are good.
Anyway, this has given me an excuse to brush up on my Perl. I'm going to write a program to run "flac -t" on every file in my library, to see if there are any other bad files lurking in there.

Thanks for posting back with the answer Mitch!
Its good to see if the problems get remedied, especially as the answer
to this (I presume uncommon?) problem is now searchable from the
forum!
