Hi Ralf,

I made some changes to the isofs (CDROM) fs that should have fixed some
"trying to free free buffer" problems, so I'd like to find out what's
causing the message you report. Do you know if it's definitely
associated with the CD-ROM, or does it just show up next in the syslog?
Do you have a CDROM in the drive when the message is reported?

The double-free buffer message can be a problem, so it's important to
track it down. Please let me know if you get any further clues ...

Regards,
Bill
