You do mean 'audio CD,' right?  And though I haven't really tested it, I
think it sometimes takes multiple attempts (some w/ cd9660, some with
ufsA) to produce the crash.

Just as a data point, I repeatedly made the mistake of trying to mount a
data CD when I first got FreeBSD, and I never had it lock up or crash,
just say "invalid parameter."  I didn't find the message all that
enlightening ("invalid file system" or something would be a big
improvment), but that's beside the point, which is:

This problem is not universal.  Not to say it isn't serious, but it
might be unresolved because not everybody is able to easily replicate
it.

  which applies only to 4.1.1, not 4.2.  It is still open, but it doesn't
  look like there's any mention of it with regards to 4.2.  What should I
  do?

 I was able to reproduce this under 4.3-BETA.

 A hard reboot and 30 minutes with fsck is a rather painful penalty for
 such an act.

 This PR is classified as 'open', which means that 'no sanity checking
 has been performed'. This was discussed in -STABLE back in November,
 however I don't think a patch was commited.
