Henri:

Thank you for solving this problem for me.  I removed and re-installed 
dvd+rw-tools-7.1 and this issue went away on both i386 computers.  I have 
been tracking FreeBSD 9-STABLE one one of them since 9.0 and I use FreeBSD 
release updates on the other one.  A system library must have changed that 
affected growisofs that required re-installation of that port.  It was 
totally unexpected that an update within a branch would affect a port.  There 
wasn't any UPDATING entry in /usr/ports that would have provided a warning to 
rebuild ports that depend on the updated system function.
