Did you grab an image from the mirror and burned that, or did you
generate your own images for burning? Where did you get it from?

Does this happen every time on the same file or on different files?
The first indicates a broken image/cd, the latter problems with the
hardware. 

As both of you have the problem I guess its a broken image...

[reboot necessary because system hangs]

This really should not happen. Even if the kernel barfs loudly on the
image, it should be able to recover... 

I would consider a kernel problem. (BTW: Are you able to telnet to
your box or does it hang completely? e.g. look for the famous --MARK--
in syslog, too)

CD are mounted read only. They are completely full by
definition. (This does not take into account that it might be a multi
session cd with space left ).

Should not matter.

Nothing special I would say.

It's simply unbelievable how much energy and creativity people have
invested into creating contradictory, bogus and stupid licenses ...
