cdrkit 1.1.7.1 was released 17 March 2008.

cdrkit 1.1.8 is in portage and has been available from cdrkit.org 
since 25 May 2008.

Nope, all of that was factual, though it's not worth it for me to list
the few entries that were specific enough for me to evaluate.  Only the
bugs you're *specific* about don't affect me.  In places where you are
more vague, I can't guess.  I'll just continue not to know.

I agree, about the ones that are vague.  If one affects me, I'll have to
wait until someone points it out to me and either explains or points to
an explanation.

It'd be great if someone would point me to information about this
instead of just enjoying the prospect of it harming me.

I no longer expect you to provide any useful info, so I'll check out of
the thread now.  Good luck with your efforts to improve the situation,
if it needs improving.
