[paranoia] annoying rip problem, need help (long debug msg)

[Hyung-song Nam]

Hi all,
I got fed up w/ crappy rips from my Plextor32TS on MacOS, and so I
installed linuxppc and cdparanoia. It's working great for most CD's (great
job Monty), but for some CD's, no matter what settings I use, the rip just
halts and freezes my system before SCSI times out. Shown below is an
output from one such rip session. The CD is 99% scratch-free, and is one
of the cleaner CD's. It still results in the error. Can somebody
help? Thanks!!

(system info = 
running on PowerBook FireWire. kernel 2.2.18. cdparanoia
9.7.  SCSI CDROM
and harddisk interfaced through apa1480 PCCard, terminated at the end of
the chain.)
