i found a way to access the data on such disks. i simply copied the whole iso
to my hdd using dd and then threw tar at it. since tar understands cdfs and
also seems to support multi-extent i got the whole file. :)

maybe adding an entry to BUGS section of mount_cd9660(8) might be a good idea.

cheers.
