Aha! Solved, thanks.

echo "ulimit -l unlimited" >> /etc/conf.d/local.start

Thanks to all for the quick replies.

That seems strange. This is on SUSE Linux 10.1, using the root account:

19:36 shanghai:/J/kernel/linux-2.6.17+ # ulimit -a
core file size          (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size               (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals                 (-i) 6143
max locked memory       (kbytes, -l) 32

and I have no problems with cdrecord-prodvd wrt. mmap or memlocking.
