I was wondering about that:

NOTE: this version of cdrecord is an inofficial (modified) release of 
cdrecord
      and thus may have bugs that are not present in the original version.
      Please send bug reports and support requests to 
<cdrtools at packages.debian.org>.
      The original author should not be bothered with problems of this 
version.

cdrecord: Warning: Running on Linux-2.6.17.13-ubuntu1jm1
cdrecord: There are unsettled issues with Linux-2.5 and newer.
cdrecord: If you have unexpected problems, please try Linux-2.4 or Solaris.
Warning: Using badly designed ATAPI via /dev/hd* interface
