As mentioned before, if it works for you _after_ this change, you did not prove anything. In special you did not prove that the change is a result _from_ changing releases. There are many changes in cdrtools since January 2009, but there was no change that could affect your problem. Your media was either accepted after several tries by the drive for unknown reasons and is now usable in general again or you are observing a problem caused by "hald". Note that hald does not care about the CD/DVD/BD Writing process and interrupts it. This is why hald may cause any strange result.
