So this is completely untested, though I believe it should work. OK; I corresponded with Stephen, and since I have an ATAPI CD burner, I tested it (under -CURRENT). The patch works as advertised, as far as I can tell: I was able to make a multi-session CD following Stephen's suggestions, and using output from "cdcontrol info" as a reference, the output from "burncd msinfo" is broken (in that it always returns "0" for the first LBA of the last track) without Stephen's patch, but with the patch applied, the LBAs reported by "burncd msinfo" agree with those reported by "cdcontrol info". >I hope this can make it into 4.5. Likewise -- though my perceived need for it is less than Stephen's, it would be a Good Thing to have this (apparently easily-fixed bug) fixed. Cheers, david -- David H.
