Wow, this takes me back a hundred years (TM) in time. I had some CDRW
blanks that I got with a computer several years ago. At that time,
cdrecord would always fail to write or blank the disks. When I tried
them a few monts ago, the problem had disappeared.

My money is still on cdrecord. Jorg uses low level I/O stuff that is
extremely dependant on the kernel (and thus hangs when the kernel API
changes even slightly), and changes (in cdrecord) are forthcoming
seldom or never.
