Multi-session software puts the directory entries
behind the end of the written area on media. With
mkisofs and libisofs this is near the start of the
new session.

Since DVDs and BDs offer multi-session capabilities
and allow to write more than 4 GB of data, it is
possible that a tree of directory entries is indeed
written beyond the 32-bit byte count limit.


Have a nice day :)
