i'm curious why it didn't happen with the old version too...
maybe it's a strange interaction with my patch to muxer_avi.c (write
valid avi headers before encoding is complete)...?

this is a weird issue that doesn't affect most users so i'm not that
motivated to spend time on it right now. i might later, but if you
want to do some tests and tell me which patch broke it, i'll be happy
to go from there and research it and hopefully find a workaround.
