Ok, here's status: Nicolas Planel found the origin of the
problem. It's the "packet writing support" for cd/dvd burners
that was introduced on 15th of August, changelog reading:
- 2.4.22-rc2q5.
[...]
* add packet cdvd support (svetoslav).
What amazes me is that we've had it in the kernel of 9.2-RC1 and
9.2-RC2, and it still managed to be, erhm, "featured", in the
final version. All people who say we should do more beta and RC
versions see that such a big problem passed one month of
RC-testing... Real problem would perhaps be to enlarge our
testing community? Anyway, that's not the topic for this day :).
I've passed suggestions to our management as to what to do now -
I think we should act *fast* and be responsible, but I don't know
what will be decided exactly.

I guess this is the most comprehensive listing you can get :). The fried
4480B is particular mine.
