 I believe this is caused by a bad table of contents on the media.  The
 TOC sometimes says that there are more blocks than there actually are,
 and dd handles this perfectly by getting an i/o error attempting to
 read a nonexistent block.
 
 I see this problem deterministically for cd's written by burncd, perhaps
 because I always create multi-session cd's.  Factory-burned cd's mostly
 don't have it.  burncd seems to do the right things, but somehow the TOC
 always says that the track has more sectors that burncd wrote.  Usually
 only 1 more. but for small writes the minimum track length seems to be
 300.  This is with "acd0: CDRW <RICOH CD-RW MP7320A> at ata1-master UDMA33"
 I tried to use cdrecord on
 "cd0: <RICOH CD-RW MP7320A bp13> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device"
 for comparison, but atapicam doesn't seem to support cdrecord.
