growisofs doesn't check available space when using defect management on Blu-ray?

[Alexander Shaduri <ashaduri@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I have dvd+rw-tools-7.1 (on openSUSE 11.3 x86-64). I tried writing
some files to a blu-ray disk (using k3b as a frontend to growisofs), but
write aborted near the end with:

---------------------------------
...
24749473792/24813379584 (99.7%) @1.7x, remaining 0:08 RBU 100.0% UBU 100.0%

/dev/sr0: flushing cache
/dev/sr0: closing track
/dev/sr0: closing session
:-[ CLOSE SESSION failed with SK=5h/INVALID FIELD IN CDB]: Input/output error
---------------------------------

Writer: Pioneer BDR-205 (1.09 firmware).
Media: Some TDK 25 G disks.

The files were on a ntfs-3g-mounted partition, some of them were larger
than 7 gigs (if it makes any difference). I used UDF + RR.
The resulting disk was mountable, but most files contained some random
garbage.

Note that Nero under windows was able to write them (to a similar disk),
but didn't use any defect management.

Also, both k3b and Nero showed the remaining space as ~200 MB, k3b
apparently not taking into account the 250MB growisofs reserves.

So, my question is, why didn't growisofs detect that the files + reserved space
wouldn't fit to the media? Is this a bug? Or is it a different issue entirely?
I'm afraid of doing more tests as I have few disks left and I don't have BD-RE
disks yet (I'm getting them soon though).

I also tried writing fewer files (about 1 G free space left), and all went ok.

Commands as executed by k3b:
