Kernel panic when trying to mount a scsi cdrom.

[Alexandre et/ou Sophie Beneteau <a_benet@club-internet.fr>]

[1.] One line summary of the problem:

 Kernel panic when trying to mount a scsi cdrom.
 
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:

Since version 2.4.2, I get a kernel panic everytime I try to mount an
iso9660 cdrom :

# mount /dev/scd0 /cdrom
Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x write cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
sr: ran out of meme for scatter pad
Kernel panic: scsi_free: Bad offset

(typed by hand, since the system is frozen at this point of the
operation :-) )

No problem when I read a cd-rom (with cdparanoia, cdrecord or cdrdao)
nor when I write a cd/r cd/rw, nor when I listen a cd-audio....

[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):

scsi, kernel panic, mount

[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):

Linux version 2.4.3 (root@casimir) (gcc version 2.95.3 19991030

[5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information 
     resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)

[6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
     problem (if possible)

mount /dev/scd0 /cdrom
