29 All I know is that I downgraded cdrtools and it worked. I didn't even
30 eject the media. Since it works now , I don't guess there is any way to
31 test it. Next time I do a backup, I'll upgrade and see if it fails. If
32 it does, maybe then we can figure it out. I'll go back to my current
33 version and see if it works then. May be a bit before I do backups
34 again tho.
