Not really - SONY_DEBUG has been defined for the last 20 or 30 
tries.

I'm willing to bet that it is a problem in the 'fake' disklabel
in the kernel is either bogus or the OS is not handling the 
CD ROM correctly.  When the disk has a real 'available' amount, 
or when the CD-ROM has no room left (as in a pressed CD) the
system processes the request correctly.

I've been looking at the kernel code, but I'm not familiar
enoght with the code yet to be able to tell what should be 
happening.
