What you see is 2 SuSE created bugs :-(

1) printing this message at all in this special case

2) SuSE using non initialized variables.

cdrtools is in code freeze and Linux-2.6.8 did open new problems that would
require code anhancements that cannot be done in this state of cdrtools.

There are other problems that have been discussed last week.....
