Try to re-build CDParanoia from sources as it is possible that your
installation is corrupt. Try to make a static build, i.e. after gunzipping
and untarring the package, do

$ ./configure && make all STATIC=TRUE

and try to rip the cd with the static binary resulting. If that works,
then find the old paranoia libraries, delete them and do a complete
dynamic build (also re-building and re-installing the libraries).
