I post not without a sense criticize growisoimage did something wrong,
rather instead is knowledge of how to get such thing right next time :)

If growisofs did it right, something must have done it wrong, because
the expectation is a reasonable one. Finding that 'something' helps to
avoid such trouble in the future.

Not in this case:

almustafa@orphalese:~$ file /dev/sr1
/dev/sr1: block special

almustafa@orphalese:~$ dd if=/dev/sr1 of=/tmp/test.iso bs=1048576 count=1
almustafa@orphalese:~$ file /tmp/test.iso 
/tmp/test.iso: # ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'K3b data project               '

Note that the message 'K3b burnt it' must be one of the previous session.


It's the same session that was recognized in Windows XP. As Windows XP
shows the name of the CD "k3b something".
