Hi Daniel,

I just stumbled across this bug whilst looking into an issue with the
mondo package that I maintain and writing DVDs under sudo which does not
work because of the situation described in this bug.

I believe that rather than applying a patch as suggested by LaMont, all
that would be required is to specify -DI_KNOW_ALL_ABOUT_SUDO when
compiling. This has been in since version 5.20 according to the
changelog in growisofs.c.

Other than that, it is really a matter of policy, I guess. And it
appears that upstream by providing the above define implicitly
acknowledges that three may be an issue.

Best regards,
Andree
