I agree completely. I see 2 points here:
1) it seems that problem is in /sys/dev/ata/atapi-cd.c code rather then
in burncd utility (but I'm not 100%-sure here);
2) burncd still does _all_ things which it's useful for: it really burns CDs,
erases and fixates them. It just incorrectly waits for completion of
erase/fixate operation. Waiting some extra time after drive finishes the
write process and pressing Ctrl+C works around this problem and results
in correctly erased/fixed media. It would be unwise to throw away a dirty
screwdriver instead of washing it ;)
