[hald polling causes cdrecord to go bad on a USB CD drive]

One possible reason is that we're shooting down the device's pagecache by
accident as a result of hald activity.  This shouldn't happen, but still.
Could you please do

`watch -n1 cat /proc/meminfo' and/or `vmstat 1'

then run cdrecord

then wait a bit

then run hald, see if the amount of pagecache (/proc/meminfo:Buffers or
/proc/meminfo:Cached) suddenly decreases.

If the answer is "no" then I guess there's some unpleasant interaction
happening at the USB level
