Hello!
On my system [1],
growisofs -version
causes a core dump in mkisofs (8). The exact output is:
* growisofs by <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, version 7.0.1,
front-ending to mkisofs: Bus error(coredump)
(It says growisofs version 7.0.1, not 7.0, because I also use another
patch [2]. The problem occurs with or without this patch, though.)
I don't usually call growisofs like that myself, but k3b, for example,
does.
I can't say I understand the cause of the bug completely, but I
believe the problem is simply that growisofs calls setuid (2) and
munlockall (2) in the wrong order. The attached patch fixes the
problem for me.

The kernel is only slightly customized. The only real difference
is that I use the nve (4) driver from -CURRENT because my network
adapter didn't work properly at the time I built the kernel.
