Ben,
I appreciate your help, I think the reason you weren't able to reproduce the
issue is due to the sample file that was ftp'd - I'm going to upload the sample
file that always fails with senduit -  if you can grab the shortinput.wav file
from there - you might be able to reproduce the issue.  However, since you're
using an older version of lame, there's a chance that you might not be able to
replicate the issue.

Here's the location of the file, shortinput.wav is 28.2MB: http://senduit.com/6935aa

Again, the command I ran with:
ffmpeg -i shortinput.wav -vn -ab 32 output.mp3 

and the output:

(the output.mp3 plays back fine, but it's only 00:02:32.63 in duration with a
file size of "610,534 bytes")
