The file appears to put the parser into some kind of infinite loop. The best thing for you to do is to file a bug that includes the file. You should also provide a sample(1) trace of the afinfo process rather than a backtrace from stopping in GDB. That will give a better overall picture of what's going on in the process.

While testing my app (it uses CAAudioFile as a simple "anything to PCM" converter) on my iTunes library, I found one mp3 file (linked below) that completely hangs the program. On investigation the same file hangs any app I could find that uses CAAudioFile during the file->open call. It plays fine in iTunes and QT, I don't remember the provenance of the file but iTunes claims it was encoded with iTunes 4.9.

It's frustrating as I don't want malformed songs to hang my app, there seems to be no way of getting out of the loop or detecting if it will happen. Looking a debug trace shows:

CAAudioFile::GetExistingFileInfo
CAAudioFile::InitFileMaxPacketSize
AudioFileProperty
MP3AudioFile::GetProperty
MP3AudioFile::UpdatePacketTable
MP3AudioFile::GetFPosForNextSyncWord
Cached_DataSource::ReadBytes
MacFile_DataSource::ReadBytes
FSReadFork
PBReadForkSync
BasicRead (which spins and eats up all CPU)

How to replicate: build the AudioFileTools.

cd /Developer/Examples/CoreAudio/Services/AudioFileTools/build...
curl -O http://variogr.am/clarity.mp3
./afinfo clarity.mp3
