 Summary of the bug:
 It's very hard for me to imagine a task for which "-safe 1" makes sense.
 It probably involves list being obtained from outside source instead of
 being generated. What's for sure is that it's a sophisticated task for
 which figuring out and specifying additional parameters is not a problem.
 For all regular users of "concat" option (me included) the "safe mode"
 brings only troubles, e.g. https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-
 user/2016-April/031560.html
 No one knows why it's there, because the documentation doesn't say
 anything about rationale: https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-
 formats.html#Options
 Obviously, no backward compatibility.

 How to reproduce:
 {{{
 % ffmpeg -nostats -f concat -i List.txt -c copy output
 (List.txt contains absolute paths)
 ffmpeg version N-79947-gcd244fa
 built on 20160512
 }}}
