What? I saw no such bug in 2.6.10.

What I *do* see in 2.6.10+ is a packet-writing bug whereby
non-packet-written CDs are locked in the drive if you simultaneously
have a pktsetup device set up (tearing the relationship down with
`pktsetup -d' unlocks the drive). Nobody else can reproduce this, and I
haven't had time to track it down: are you seeing it?
