Another user experienced a similar problem:

Comparing 2 similar mp3 files. (ffmpeg has re-written the headers, but with acodec:copy so body(music) is the same.
T move top,u/d/l/r
B move bottom, u/d/l/r
(this aligned the binary contents which are shifted after the mp4 headers (different length), but otherwise identical (mp3 content).
page down a few times.
end.

Top file showing position= 2480, bottom=25D6
I think this might have tried to seek in the shorter file past it's length... just guessing.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
