Instead of using the broken Debian speudofork, you still have the choice to use the working free original software: Just fetch the latest source from: ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/ compile and install (suid root as documented) and you have an installation that lacks all Bugs listed on the Debian bugtracking system that are not a result of Linux kernel bugs. Note that the code, Mr. Bloch complains about has been negotiated with Debian (in order to protect cdrtools users) in 2001 after a similar speudo fork appeared (initiated by a former Redhat employee). The current speudo fork found on Debian so far seems to replicate all problems seen in 2001: 1) The working official build sytstem has been replaced by a defective one 2) The initator spend some months in trying to fix the self caused problems 3) The "project" became catatonic after ~ 6 months.
