[MEncoder-users] incomplete passlog file?

I am getting shorter passlog files with the current mencoder than with older
versions.  I encode with x264.

Using version 29433 (the most recent I compiled) the last few lines of the
passlog files are:

Using version 28850 (the last version I have archived which does not exhibit
the problem):

The two runs were identical other than the mencoder versions.

I also noticed that the current mencoder version produces avi files which
list the x264 version and parms twice, that is:

Well? > strings test.29433.avi | grep x264

With version 28850 I get:

Any comment will be appreciated.
