#20 Memory error during encoding
In the middle of an encoding, the process starts throwing malloc errors into the system log (not the local console) and the encoding just hangs. The gui still reports progress, but it never advances and the CPU utilization drops back down. Every time it has happened (so far) it has been the third video in the queue (the first two encode fine). It is also not related to a particular video file as the same video, placed earlier in the queue, has successfully been encoded. This began happening after I upgraded to Snow Leopard, but may be a coincidence. The full log of the problem is included below:

Yes, I am seeing this, too. I'm looking into it. It may be nothing more than an early free, or it could be some uninitialized memory that's asking for a huge memory buffer.
