cdrom loosing files

i'm getting inconsistent results when accessing cds containing lots
of files. this happens with a plextor ultraplex as well as with a
teac cdr55s. a raw cd image mounted via /dev/loop exposes the same
behavior. no error messages are showing up. the cds are plain
iso9660.

--------------
# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.2.9-27mdksmp-fb (root@locutus.mandrakesoft.com)
(gcc version pgcc-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release)) #1 SMP

# for i in 0 1 2 3 ; do find cdimg -type f | wc -l ; done

and this is what an ancient debian slink 2.0.36 produces using
the _same_ cd:
--------------
# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.0.36 (root@gondor) (gcc version 2.7.2.3) #2

# for i in 0 1 2 3 ; do (find cdrom -type f | wc -l ) ; done

any hints?
