Sorry, no, because I decided the CDROM drive was faulty and replaced it. Since then, I've had no problem. I agree that it sounds like a bug in the CDROM driver, but if it takes a defective CDROM drive to expose the bug, it's not going to bother people very often, so perhaps the severity should be downgraded.
