I can't reproduce it, but I'll look into it... Can you run failing
command under strace as 'strace -o growisofs.strace growisofs ....' and
send the growisofs.strace? It's appropriate to submit the output to me
personally in order to spare the public bandwidth. As fast acting relief
you can complement command line with -poor-man option, e.g. 'growisofs
-poor-man -Z /dev/scd0 ...'

No, passing /dev/raw/raw1 would *never* work (as you've seen
yourself:-). A.
