Hate to be an old bugger and bring this up again, but I just had this
old problem show up again, with 2.5.1-dj3. The scoop:

Fired up xplaycd, played a coupla CDs. hit the eject button on
xplaycd, and start to get hit with:

Dec 20 03:04:27 bellicha kernel: D REQ_BLOCK_PC

in /var/adm/messages. Tried using /usr/bin/eject, in which 'ps waux'
gives me:

bradl 11866 0.0 0.2 2388 1036 vc/1 D Dec19 0:00 xplaycd
root 15481 0.0 0.0 1212 348 ? D 02:46 0:00 eject
root 15542 0.0 0.0 1212 348 ? D 02:48 0:00 eject -r
bradl 15545 0.0 0.2 2388 1032 vc/1 D 02:48 0:00 xplaycd

All of these are unkillable. ctrl-c does no good, and the drive is
locked. I can safely bounce this box, as it's my personal one, but I thought
I'd give this as a heads up. My setup:

Linux bellicha 2.5.1-dj3 #2 Tue Dec 18 18:15:48 PST 2001 i686 unknown

gcc-2.95.3
binutils 2.11.90.0.19
make 3.79.1

This *IS* reproducible. See attached for config.
