Hi,

On that list there was support by Andy Polykov until shortly
after the bug in question was reported. A fixed release was
promised but did not emerge. See
  http://lists.debian.org/cdwrite/2008/07/msg00092.html

Yep. Until 2007 as user of growisofs. For a short while as
friendly competitor. Now as its sentinel, so nobody has reason
to regret having tried burning DVD on Linux.

The topic came up from a side note on cdrkit's mailing list.
The Fedora maintainer of growisofs asked whether i know more
about the problem. I pointed to above post by Andy, re-read it
and recognized that he left a treasure map to find the bug.

After getting confirmation that the proposed fix works, i googled
for similar bug reports in various distros.

An archive of the gentoo-user list was among the found sites.
My first mail to the list did not show up. So i subscribed a day
later and sent it again.


Have a nice day :)
