When this happens you should also check the "duration" field.  The mode 
sizes are approximated from the bit rate and duration contained in the 
programme metadata provided by the BBC.  If one or both of those values 
is wildly off, the calculated mode sizes will of course also be wildly 
off.  In this case, the programme duration is wrong for parts 3 and 4 of 
the athletics coverage.  You can check the duration by dividing length 
(# of samples) by timescale (samples/second) in the metadata reported by 
rtmpdump.
