Strange CD behaviour

First of all I'd like to apologise if this is the wrong forum for this
mail. Secondly is that I am not a kernel hacker, I would merely like to
report some strange behaviour in the 2.1.125 kernel.

Basically what happens is that I can press the eject button on my CD-ROM
drive and it will pop out, despite being mounted (I have checked this in
mtab while the caddy was out). However, the eject command does work as it
should, ie prints an error message. I would also like to mention that as
far as I remember this was not possible under previous kernels.

The drive is a no-name standard ATAPI drive (Dysan is the manufacturers
name, FWIW).

What I basically would like to know is if this is worth me spending more
time on testing, or if I should forget it. Also, if I should spend more
time on the problem, what sort of information would be of use?

Thanks in advance

Dave
