I'm on a 5-STABLE box, currently 5.5-PRERELEASE. I use cdparanoia

with other rippers, like cdda2wav, IIRC, also.) Whenever I try to
rip an "enhanced" CD that has one or more data tracks along with
the audio tracks, it crashes the computer when it gets near the
enhanced tracks. It has happened on a wide variety of CDs, all
enhanced, and over a long period of time. It is very repeatable.
Even if I ask the ripper to rip only the track prior to the
enhanced track, it still crashes when it gets about 90-95% through
the track. Even if I try to break out at that point, it still
crashes the box.

I know has happened to me on both CD-ROM/RW drives and on my
atapicam DVD+/-RW drive. I seem to remember it happening on
4-STABLE boxes too, with widely different hardware (different mobo
makers, chipsets, etc.)

This is an anti-piracy feature included on some discs. Nowadays there
are more and more protected discs around. Some of them even crash
computers when loading. How silly is that? Programs like CloneCD can
handle such things on Windows boxes. That is what I use after having
long frustrated sessions with open-source tools.

Can you name a few discs that crashed your system?
I copied quite a bit non standard discs with cdda2wav
on FreeBSD and never saw a single crash.
