If found one: it seems that when libdvdread access the DVD and freevo
crashes, the IdentifyMedia thread (in rom_drives.py) freezes. Then, all
other programs using libdvdread fail.

The fix fr freevo is to close the filehandler on the DVD device (e.g.
/dev/hdc) and reopen it after the call to mmpython that uses libdvdread
(so that the remainder of the function can use that file handler if
needed).

I haven't tried this with a new version of freevo, but it seems to work
with my December 2003 freevo (and that's why I don't send a patch, but
rather a workaround description).
