 Picard seems to corrupt some (not all) FLAC files when writing tags.  I am
 running Picard 0.12.1 from the Ubuntu 11.04 repository with Mutagen 1.19,
 also from the Ubuntu 11.04 repository.  Well, it actually corrupts all
 FLAC files (if flac -t is to be believed), but only some are corrupted to
 the point that they won't play.

 I tried using Ex Falso (which also uses Mutagen) to manually copy over the
 tags from the corrupt FLAC file (Ex Falso was at least able to read the
 tags) to the pristine FLAC file, and the resulting file seems to be OK, so
 I don't believe that this is a problem with Mutagen (or if it is, it's a
 very subtle and difficult-to-trigger problem).

 Before and after FLAC files are available at
