------- Comment #3 from Tim-Philipp Müller  2007-01-29 18:14 UTC -------
Some more debugging on IRC revealed that packet->bytes was uninitialised.

The reason this happened was that theora_encode_headers() returned a failure
code, which in turn was due to libtheora having been compiled with encoding
support disabled. Good stuff.

Fixed in CVS:

  2007-01-29  Tim-Philipp Müller  <tim at centricular dot net>

        * ext/theora/theoraenc.c: (theora_enc_chain):
          Check return value of theora_encode_header(), or we might try to
          allocate a random number of bytes. theora_encode_header() can fail
          if libtheora has been compiled with encoding support disabled.
          Fixes #398110.
