When I encode using lame 3.92 with the following cmd line opts:

--abr 256 -m s -h --nogap

I get an additional mp3 file in the target directory named somthing like "tmp4(mp3.mp3". The intended mp3 file is created ok, and sounds fine. The additional file sounds like pink or white noise and seems to always be a small fraction of the intended file. I have the same results with EAC 0.9pb11 and EAC 0.9b4 with WinXP Pro Corp, native SCSI interface (although the ripper shouldn't matter).

Anyone have this experience?

Also, I cannot find the --nogap defined in the usage.txt for 3.92 but everyone discusses it's use. I haven't noticed any errors or warnings in the command window, although I haven't explicitly looked for any either.
