Having run production on 2.2 systems for several years, using mmap(), I
will note that in general mmap() did work, 2.4 just caught some uncommon
cases. I'm not sure which one was the problem here.

This is very good advice folks, not just for cdrecord, but for lots of
applications. I expect upward compatibility, but compiling on a newer
release, unless you have all the right things in place to use the
correct compilers and libraries, is to invite just the problemseen here.
Of course the solution is to upgrade the kernel, not dowgrade the app,
but that's just my opinion.
