Comment (by rling):

 It's my very simple in-house tool.  My tool correctly parses input.MOV,
 which is direct from a Canon G15 camera and also contains a 'free' atom,
 but fails on the output.MOV generated with the command line above.

 WMP and MPC-HC were able to play output.MOV, and Windows displayed a
 normal thumbnail for it.  I think many media players may only read up to
 the 'moov' atom, which itself contains absolute file offsets into the
 'mdat' atom, which allows them to display and play the file without ever
 reading the 'free' atom.  So I'm not surprised this bug could hide for a
 long time.
