This was done during a housekeeping action for the new
-minfo option.

This is what -minfo currently prints for an appendable multi-border DVD+R:

Disk Is not erasable
data type:                standard
disk status:              incomplete/appendable
session status:           empty
BG format status:         none
first track:              1
number of sessions:       5
first track in last sess: 5
last track in last sess:  5
Disk Is not unrestricted
Disk type: DVD, HD-DVD or BD

Track  Sess Type   Start Addr End Addr   Size
==============================================
    1     1 Data   0          655        656

    5     5 Blank  14304      2295103    2280800

Last session start address:         11648
Last session leadout start address: 12256
Next writable address:              14304
Remaining writable size:            2280800


Maybe, I should go back to the old string at least for the -atip
code as e.g. non-MMC drives stilll use the old string.

If this stays even after the disk was reloaded, then you found a firmware bug
in this drive that would cause cdrecord to be unable to format the medium.
