Hi Joey, thanks for your "cannot reproduce".
It seems that powering off my test box makes a difference. I also suspect that my CD-RW is no good any more and chose to use a new one. With that most of the problems mentioned before (below) vanish. And since there is a new image, I'll send in a separate report. Cheers, and happy new year!
