If the event is bigger than then size needed for the time extend, padding must be added. The minimum padding size is 8 bytes. Thus if the event is 12 bytes (size of time extend + 4), there will not be enough room to add both the time extend and padding. Make sure all events are either 8 bytes or 16 or more bytes.
