Log Message:
2004-09-21  David Zeuthen  <david at fubar.dk>

	Patch from Martin Pitt <martin.pitt at canonical.com>
	
	* hald/linux/linux_dvd_rw_utils.c (get_read_write_speed): Several
	Ubuntu users reported that hal does not start up properly. I
	debugged this and found out that hald/linux/linux_dvd_rw_utils.c
	contains an unchecked buffer access which causes a segfault.  The
	attached patch fixes that; it might not be the most correct
	solution, but it works. The error is still present in 0.2.98; I
	made the fix in 0.2.92, but the patch should still apply.
