I was able to find the problem. Indeed something going wrong with the size. It appears I need to add another hack and come up with some extremely good test cases.. Regards, Julius

Does your implementation of avifil32 and friends work properly on windows? It appears this is not trivial to test. I had to include Wine's advapi32.dll in addition to avifil32.dll and then I got an error about a missing Wine symbol in ntdll.dll. I understand this means I cannot trivially use this Wine dll on Windows. Thanks, Julius
