SuSE: How to restore a windows boot loader to MBR
Chris hi; the OP never did - and in the OP's particular scenario, i'm not sure what exactly is the correct course of action -- and my comments...

Someone reported this problem back around January 5th and it has been fixed in the libcdio CVS. See https:--savannah.gnu.org-cvs-?group=libcdio for access instructions.

Whenever the next release comes out (version 0.77 unless we decided to increase version numbers more because there may be several other largish changes), this should problem be addressed.

Basically on GNU-Linux there is some funny interaction in GNU libc that needs to be done to arrange glibc's seek() routines work with 64-bit addressing; autoconf provides a macro for setting compilation up correctly (if the configure author asks for it -- which was done around Jan 10th).

Another way to solve using unmodified libcdio 0.76 sources is to set CPPFLAGS correctly; the right incantation depends, I think, on the kernel (and-or glibc) used. On my GNU-Linux 2.6 kernel -DFILEOFFSETBITS=64 -DLARGEFILES is what I believe needs to be added.

Finally, it has been noted (if I have this correctly) that *BSD users and possibly other non-GNU-Linux OS's don't suffer from this problem because of a different way glibc and the kernel interact.

In sum, I'm just pbutting the buck along to glibc and-or GNU-Linux, or the person who packaged libcdio if you are using a package. ;-) Well, okay -- it'll in the next release and the check is in the mail too!
