[Bug 477321] [NEW] Wodim 1.1.9 stops burning to DVD after a few seconds

[Shinji]

Public bug reported:

I tried to burn an ISO file (3GB) to my DVD-RW media but wodim stops
burning after a 12%. My HD LED is flickering but my DVD writer stops.
Neither the DVD can be released nor wodim can be killed by "kill -9" or
"killall wodim". I have to power down my DVD drive!

I can reproduce this regardless of whether I use wodim within K3b or directly from the command line.
The problem also occurs if I open a new Video-DVD project inside K3b and try to burn the added files to the disc. 
K3b says something like "11 of 3044MB written" and that's all. 

To rule out other possibilities like a defective media or DVD drive I
tried to burn the same ISO file in WindowsXP with "CD Burner XP" and it
worked fine.
