Voice memos in ios 7: lengths not set at first

Question

Hello;
I intended to write this as a question about what happened to an important voice memo that
I recorded yesterday, but going through what I did yesterday leads me to believe that I actually
deleted it because I thought it was empty.
I just upgraded to ios 7 on my iphone 4.  Yesterday was my first experience using the new
voice memo app.  It is my practice to record audio of class meetings and then the post an
mp3 file to the cloud.  At the end of class, I noticed that a voice memo had been recording as
I expected.  I don't recall if I paused recording then hit "Done" or hit "Done" directly.  A dialogue
box came up:
> New Voice Memo
> Enter a name for this voice memo
> New Recording
> Cancel OK
A student asked a question and I had to leave the room, so I didn't complete the step of naming the file
then.
Later, I noticed a recording of zero length (0:00:00) which I thought had gotten created inadvertently
(that seemed to be easy to do in the previous version of voice memo, so I didn't think much of it).
I deleted that file.  The question remained what had happened to my recording (of about 75 minutes).
As I tried to recreate my problem now, so I coud write it up accurately, I realized that all the voice memos I
created are shown as 0 length when they first appear on the list of recordings.  As I tried this a few times,
the delay in changing the length from 0:00:00 to the correct length did vary... from almost
instantaneously up to a couple of seconds (I don't know if it depends on the length of the file: the longest
I tried now was about 30 seconds).
For what it's worth, the zeros should not be displayed at all.
Best regards,
Daryl
