I did this and it seemed to have worked ... what is weird though is that
it shouldn't have ...

I've traditionally been mounting my real CD media as /dev/cd0a ... your
message sowed doubt, so I wanted to check whether /dev/cd0d was the
equivalent ... which it appears to be:

|tethys[~] 172v#: disklabel cd0

|d:  1307720        0    ISO9660                        # (Cyl.    0 - 13077*)

One possible cause for the problem I'd noticed was that the slice I'd
mounted didn't cover the entire disk image (which is why files at the
end (they all began with x, remember?) would do weird things) ... but
disklabel for vnd0 shows that the above fix shouldn't have made a
difference:

|tethys[~] 173v#: disklabel vnd0

How does one submit a bug report?  This is definately bogus ...
