 [BTW, I think the title of this pr is a misnomer.  It's not merely an
 ATAPI CD-ROM but actually a DVD drive in my case, and apparently in
 those of the other posters.  So it's not an unreasonable thing to
 expect to work.]
 
 I also am experiencing a problem much like this.  I have the DVD of
 the movie "Moulin Rouge".  I mount it on /cdrom1.  If as an ordinary
 user I then do
 
 cd /cdrom1/video_ts
 cat * >/dev/null
 
 the kernel panics almost at once.  I can send tracebacks or cores, or
 do further testing; just ask.  It seems to be reproducible (I'm 2 for
 2 so far).
 
 IMHO this deserves to be treated as a security problem; it allows an
 ordinary user to panic the kernel and crash the machine, which is Not
 Good.
 
 I'm using 4.4-RELEASE, and the DVD drive is IDE.
