Yeah for me this command:
"C:\\downloads\\ffmpeg-20120409-git-6bfb304-win64-static\\ffmpeg-20120409-git-6bfb304-win64-static\\bin\\ffmpeg.exe
-threads 6 -y -i sintel.mpg -pass 1 -t 75 -c:v libx264 -an nul.mp4"

results in these timings:

[6.6186, 6.6536, 6.7067, 6.7275, 6.7331, 6.7605, 6.8356, 6.9484,
7.0748, 7.1302, 12.1823, 13.9774, 16.0897, 17.1871, 18.0254]

so it's failing like 1/3 times, but YMMV.

However, if I specify "-threads 1" it seems to run all right.  I'm
checking into it a bit...
