--max-len and --split on word generate "empty subtitles"

Using --max-len and --split on word when generating an SRT file generate "empty subtitles", meaning sentences that appear for 0 seconds. I had 3 such occurrences in a 7-minute sample. I haven't verified, but it's almost as if the second part of the split sentence is just assigned a 0 duration instead of splitting the original timestamp based on character or word count.

Just opened the SRT file and saw 0 length captions with the wrapped text in it…
