Yes, it seems to be a bug in the mlockall(2) implementation. Backing
it out or hindering cdrecord to use it avoids the panic. I already
wrote an email to bms@ who commited the mlockall(2) and munlockall(2)
support regarding this issue.
The patch for the cdrtools ports is only a workaround until the real
cause is fixed. I also was not sure if it would work for Bryan as I
originally didn't get the same panic as he did.
