Dear all,

using mixxx (a dj program using taglib, mixxx.org) i noticed a bug [1]
Actually this turns out to be a bug in taglib (amarok also crashes when
loading this very wav file).

It is very easy to reproduce, just do
taglib-1.7/examples/tagreader ~/tmp/09_15_2011-21h_14m_33s.wav

The file can be found here:
http://www2.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~nachtiga/09_15_2011-21h_14m_33s.wav

This wav file causes tagreader to allocate about 2GB of memory until it
causes a SIGABRT. Any solution / direction for debuggin? Should I open a
bug?


ps I am not on the list, so please CC me.
