yes, running 5.99.15 with i386 (dual core)

  galant: {3} time eject cd0
  0.0u 0.0s 4:00.89 0.0% 0+0k 1+0io 0pf+0w
  galant: {4} /usr/bin/time eject cd0

it seems to spend its time in select() according to top but I don't see
any select in the source. I also see this on the console just before it
does eject

  cd0(piixide0:0:0):  Check Condition on CDB: 0x35 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
      SENSE KEY:  Not Ready
       ASC/ASCQ:  Medium Not Present - Tray Open

I don't know if its related but a few weeks ago I tried to rip an audio CD
and failed. I haven't investigated why that might be but there was "Medium
Not Present" messages there too..
