cdrecord blocks during fixation on pretty much everything.  It really
doesn't need to, it can set the drive to return as soon as it starts
fixating and then poll the drive to see if its done, but nobody's bothered
to code it The Right Way(tm) yet.

There's a good chance some CD drives might cause blocking like this doing
some operations -- what drives are you using?

If a subordinate asks you a pertinent question, look at him as if he had
lost his senses.  When he looks down, paraphrase the question back at him.
