Old mkisofs versions (before release 1.12) did incorrectly mark the 
root directory size to 0x44 instead of 0x22. I fixed this bug on 
January 1st 2000, but Sun did first add mkisofs in February 2000
using an ourdated source from RedHat instead of using the latest Source 
from me (the maintainer). 

Note that I did add some checks into the hsfs kernel code some time ago
in order to avoid Solaris kernel panics with badly readyble CDs or with
intentionally rotten ISO-9660 filesystems. As a result, current Solaris 
release will not mount CDs that have been made with old mkisofs versions.
