Ok, this seems to be an upstream bug :/. Please check this bug report
on Debian (which are the maintainers of the fork):

<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=495184>

wodim shows the exact same problem on Debian (in certain ?)
configurations. So, what are we gonna do now? I will check whether I
can get himdformat.c working on MacOS. If I cannot, we should probably
drop cdrkit/libusal in favor of cdrtools/libscg. The first one seems
to have alot of bugs at the moment :(.
