I'm seeing this too.  What's odd is that my cd drive is reporting back
incorrect sense information; the valid bit is not set, the asc/ascq is
suspect (4/8), and the sense key specific data is all 0.  Since other
fields in the sense data are reasonable, it's not as if no sense data is
being returned at all.  So it looks like the CDRIOGETPROGRESS ioctl
handler is doing the right thing, but the cd drive is not.  Maybe the
driver is doing something wrong when it issues the erase command, but
I can't convince myself that that is likely.
