The following reply was made to PR bin/5105; it has been noted by GNATS.

I'm afraid this bug (these bugs) can only be fixed by someone who owns an mcd drive, and has enough of courage to actually start fixing it. Unless this somebody will appear, the bug is likely to last forever. > Any invocation of mount_cd9660 or mount -t cd9660 > produces the same result.

Your system version is too old to understand multisession CDs, so don't worry. > Attempting to mount /dev/mcd0c, the raw device, produces > the same results. It would be another bug if they weren't. :) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
