All disks always fail the built-in test here, due to the permanent 
kernel bug.  A more robust test is:

    # cmp /dev/dvd /path/to/iso

If the disk is good and the built-in test would have worked, there will 
be no output; otherwise if the disk is good, there will be a complaint 
about EOF on the iso; if the disk is bad, there will be a complaint 
about a mismatch.
