My bad. I've applied it now. I've tried compiling on opencsw (solaris 10
sparc) and it is fine as far
as I can tell. But since this is a remote and shared server I don't have
access to a CD drive to test more fully.

You had given some open problems. I don't have anything to add here, and
unless others do, I guess it will remain open.

It would be nice if you could do some testing with a real CD. Many thanks
for all the great work you put in on this release. I'm sorry it's been so
long before everyone will be able to benefit from the good work you've done.
