The best solution for problems is to handle unrelated things independently.
The first step was to implement multi-extent files correctly.
The second step will be to make retained multi-extent files correclty in the
next session.
If there is a remaining problem, lets see.....
Doing things correct may look as if it takes more time than doing things quickly
but it finally wins. I will continue to do things right with mkisofs rather than
trying to find quick ways to hide problems at first sight (as done in
"genisoimage"). Users of my software can rely on me taking things seriously. In
the long term, I will be able to keep software maintainable that's what finally
counts what's important for me.
