Version: 0.2.97+cvs20040907-1
Severity: normal

cdrom devices should be opened with O_NONBLOCK.
hald doesn't seem to do that currently: when CDO_CHECK_TYPE is enable
(ie. /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/check_media is 1), dmesg shows message like

,----
| cdrom: pid 2737 must open device O_NONBLOCK!
| cdrom: open failed.
`----

coming from hald.
