[FFmpeg-user] Over length file

I have several files that when I try and cut out a chunk of it, I get a 
file that is 100+ seconds longer than I asked for.

It appears to be related to the subtitle stream. If I generate the 
original without the subtitle stream, then I get the file segment I ask 
for. If it contains the subtitle, it get something 100+ seconds longer 
than I ask for. What could I do to correct this or determine more 
specifically what the problem is?
