Package: cdrecord
Version: 4:2.01+01a01-4
Severity: normal

Hello all,

Sorry,  I see many nearly related bugs but I do not see this one in
particular.  If I have missed one that adresses the same issue, please
feel free to close or merge this one as you see fit.

The issue is that while running 2.6.10, cdrecord -prcap fails with

cdrecord: Cannot allocate memory. SG I/O error

This is with an ATAPI drive, and an /etc/default/cdrecord with
CDR_DEVICE=ATA:1,0,0
(for /dev/hdc - I believe this is right, and earlier kernels don't
complain)

So burning a disk also fails, although of course it works as root.
I am of course in group cdrom and have been for some time.  The
permissions on all the cdrecord* executables are correct.

This is similar to what is mentioned at the tail end of README.Debian,
but not the same, so I am not sure it is the same problem.  On the
off-chance it was, I tried to rebuild cdrecord, as the advice said,
and it happily failed on patch 17 :(

The very strange thing about all of this is that run under strace to
debug it, it happily runs just fine - does strace intercept a bad
syscall and translate it?  That seems like odd behavior for strace if
so.

Uncertainty principle, indeed.

If you need any help debugging, or more information, please let me know,
and I'll dig up what I can.  FWIW, it works just fine on 2.6.8.  Both
kernels involved are Debian kernels.

Thanks,
