 Yes, this is, i think, the most important item.  There were many times
 when "only a few" (or even only 1) read error occurred and the driver
 was able to retry and recover.
 
 Prior to this issue rising, I had never seen the cd0a: error message,
 so now that it has disappeared I would strongly feel that we've "fixed
 the bug".
