Subject:   cdrecord and caching issue

I wrote a couple of trial cdrecord sessions using -dummy.

I then executed a third, real cdrecord session.  It failed (fortunately,
before writing anything to the disk), complaining that "insufficient space
left on media".

I then executed a cdcontrol info, which reported that two previous sessions
were already recorded to the disk.  In actual fact, the disk was still
blank; this I confirmed by shutting down and rebooting, then successfully
writing to the cdr.

So, there is some sort of caching going on that mistakenly thinks a -dummy
write is a real write.  Might this not cause trouble?

Best regards
