Just as a data point, I repeatedly made the mistake of trying to mount a
data CD when I first got FreeBSD, and I never had it lock up or crash,
just say "invalid parameter."  I didn't find the message all that
enlightening ("invalid file system" or something would be a big
improvment), but that's beside the point, which is:

This problem is not universal.  Not to say it isn't serious, but it
might be unresolved because not everybody is able to easily replicate
it.
