So your non working binary has been compiled on a machine with a 2.4 Linux kernel.
Linux-2.4 recently added support for correcty working mmap() which i not present in
eralier versions of Linux.
As a general rule of thumb: never run a binary on an older OS release than that
it has been compiled on. If your cdrecord has been supplied to you by dabian,
it's a fault from debian not to distinguish between incompatible OS versions.
