I was refering to the 2.6 permissions bug in cdrecord. It wouldn't work usi=

a non-root user, even if they had the correct permissions. 2.6 changed (for=

the better, mind you), and Joerg refused to fix cdrecord. (I don't know if=
=20
its even fixed now). Theres been other cases of cdrecord breaking on Linux=
=20
only, but I can't think of them atm.

hasn't pissed off that potential author enough.
