/MEDIA=CDROM does seem to be the culprit.
I retried a few times, with /MEDIA=CDROM and saw
the same behavior described by Tom Edelson
several times in a row.
and with 1 or 2 other iso-9600 cd's, besides
the VMS7.3 doc CD.
there was a mention in VMS73_UPDATE-V0100 release notes
inre fixing a system crash taken on an invalid CDROM,
so I suppose it could be worse.

Problems addressed in VMS73_MOUNT96-V0100 kit
o Roxio CD Creator V5.0 for PCs creates a disk that is not
compliant to the ISO standard. Attempting to mount these disks
on an OpenVMS system will crash the system with an SSRVEXCEPT,
Unexpected system service exception bugcheck.

Ah, but you're mounting it Files-11 whereas he's mounting it ISO
9660. Let's rule that out before we conclude that OS version or ECO
level have something to do with it (though they certainly could).
The documentation CD is mountable as ISO 9660 or Files-11.
So, with bleadperl, I do this:
$ mount/over=id/media=cdrom dka400
%MOUNT-I-WRITELOCK, volume is write locked
%MOUNT-I-CDROM_ISO, VMSDOC073:DISC_1_OF_1 (1 of 1) , mounted on _BRIANA$DKA400:
$ perl -e "print opendir (DH, 'DKA400:[000000]') ? 'Success' : 'Failure: ', $!;"
and the process silently dies. The accounting utility shows that its
final status was 0x1c, i.e., access violation.
And if I try the same thing while mounted Files-11 . .. . Ok, it has
the same problem. So, my theory is wrong and I refuse to come up
with another one until after dinner. This was on OVMS Alpha 7.3 with
most ECOs, including the new C RTL, but I'm not quite as up-to-date
as Larry:
