I just tried blanking a CD-RW with the latest -git tree. The machine just became

to hard reboot the machine. The logs say nothing. I repeat: nothing.

Does anyone have similar problems?

Instead of rebooting, just wait for the blanking to finish. My guess is that your burner and hard drive are both on the same ide channel, and so you can not access the disk while the burner is blanking. If this is the case, put each drive on their own ide channel.
