Gigabeat F40 freezes on .ogg files

[buckw]

I have a Gigabeat F40 running version r19888.090130.  I am not using the database feature.  On certain .ogg files, the player freezes immediately (zero time elapsed), and must be restarted by switching the battery switch.  It is a specific set of files that cause the freeze, and not all .ogg files have the same effect--some play fine.  When converted to mp3, the files cause no problem.  I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks.

If you have files that reliably crash Rockbox then I'm sure this would be of interest to the developers.  You should file a bug report and post a sample file or two somewhere for them to check.

This can happen if the files were created with a really old version of the encoder library (called beta 4), and perhaps only if the bitrate is low.

I've also had this issue on a few .ogg files playing on my iPod 5.5 80GB.  Of course, when I get my "data abort" error and Rockbox locks up, I'm usually too busy to fiddle with it.  If I can get consistent results, I'll try to post a couple files.

This even seems to happen on fairly high bit rate .ogg files.  I have opened a bug in flyspray if anyone cares to have a look.
