That's a backup official (read: developer-recognized) 1.0.2 release archive
here: http://fromani.exit1.org/transcode-1.0.2.tar.gz

Of course since hash code matches there is no problem[1].

OK, that's the root of evil. That's a new entry in our bug list, and
a pretty unexpected thing since this code was pretty stable in time,
and that's the first time I heard a problem about it.

Well, no problem, there is a first time for everything :D
I'll look at this problem as soon as is possible, but it will take some time,
don't know yet how much.
In the meantime, you can try adding --accel C to your commandline and see
what is changes. For shore, it will go slower, maybe it will not crash
anymore.
If transcode still crashes using --accel C too, please provide a crash
report using gdb like this one, it will help debugging this issue.

If you feel adventurous and/or you like to experiment, try future 1.1.0 from
CVS HEAD: it features brand new code on interested area, and it's
MUCH better maintained and maintenable (in facts, I works on 1.1.0 much much
more than on 1.0.x, something like a 95%/5% ratio).

HTH,

Best regards,
