 I don't think this is correct (on the contrary): -preset ultrafast
 succeeds two-pass encoding although the stat file did not match the
 encoded source, making the whole encode broken (this is not about a few
 additional frames with constant quantiser at the end of the video but an
 offset of ~five frames at the beginning, so except for the very first
 frames, all frames of the video where encoded with a non-optimal / wrong
 quantiser making the whole two-pass encoding useless).

 > but for the sake of correctness I should point out that I've experienced
 no correlation between crashing and shorter input files.

 I thought you reported earlier (and I could reproduce this) that you were
 unable to reproduce the crash with a shorter input file than the one you
 uploaded?
