The reason for failure: the meta-event Key-Signature needs 2 bytes of payload, these files have 0.
For VLC, it should be requested to implement permissive parsing to bypass such an error. There are just too numerous MIDI files floating around which don't conform.
Sekaiju needs to implement rigourous bounds checking.
