  Right, because the auto-thingies all work by polling the device.  So
if they happen to be polling the device when wodim tries to open it,
you get the warning.  Then they close the present poll, and wodim
retries, and it works.  Then, during the middle of the write, they
poll again, and kablooie.

  At least, that's my theory.
