My guess is that DVD-RAM isn't popular enough, and that people who
have had problems with it haven't had the understanding to track the
bug down.

Is this a workaround or a fix?  The latter is obviously preferable.
Also, does this only affect FreeBSD, or is it general?  In the former
case, contact the maintainer (mail address in the Makefile); in the
latter, contact the project.
