ATA DVD playback hanging in physrd

While playing back a DVD on my Thinkpad, it hangs at some point (2-5 minutes
after beginning playback).  The player is hung in "physrd" and the drive stops
spinning.  This hang happens when the drive is in PIO4 or DMA mode.

However, starting another process (i.e. cat /dev/acd0) spins up the drive and
it works (and the other process begins running again).  What's interesting is 
that I can quickly trigger this hang by starting IO on a completely different 
channel (i.e. dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/null bs=1m).  This indicates that it may 
be a driver issue since the DVD drive that hangs is on a different channel and 
irq than the hard drive.

The same behavior also happens on my DVD/CDRW drive.
