Bummer. I'm not able to reproduce it with

progress -c 1M < /dev/zero | cdrecord dev=0,1,0 speed=4 -dummy -
(essentially same as 'cdrecord dev=0,1,0 speed=4 -dummy - < /dev/zero')

(The line I originally used was "cdrecord dev=0,1,0 speed=4 -" and the input
was from mkisofs.)

(nothing in dmesg.)

Perhaps it really takes real write to trigger this or the cd media in
question was somehow flawed. I try again, when I have more time.
