KERNEL 2.6.8.1: Memory leak? CDrecord problem?

-----------------------------------
KERNEL 2.6.7: compiled cdrecord.
Works fine. Burns data disks fine.
Burns audio disks fine.

UPGRADED TO KERNEL 2.6.8.1 (using the patches):
Used version of cdrecord compiled under 2.7
Burns data disks fine.
I have 256 Meg RAM (and 500+ Meg swap).
Burning a 400+Meg wav file to audio CD (40+minute
radio show) causes, after 130-180Meg have been
burned (depending on what I am running):

OUT OF MEMORY: closing down atd

and memory keeps being used up:

OUT OF MEMORY: closing down cupsd
OUT OF MEMORY: closing down crond
(etc.)

If I am lucky, cdrecord gets closed down before
something critical gets killed.
Often I am unlucky.

UNDER KERNEL 2.6.8.1:
Recompiled cdrecord under 2.6.8.1.
Burns data disks fine.
Burning a 400+ Meg wav file to audio CD causes:

OUT OF MEMORY: closing down atd
OUT OF MEMORY: closing down cupsd
OUT OF MEMORY: closing down crond
(etc.)

(Fedora Core1; kernel upgraded to (now) 2.6.7
(I went back to 2.6.7 so I could
burn audio CDs)
Using Pioneer DVD burner with ATAPI
(dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 in cdrecord) interface.)
