I just downloaded the SW8.1 cdrtools and installed it.  A track that could 
not be copied with cdda2wav from SW71 works fine with this newer version.
One more reason to do a library upgrade to glibcso 2.2.5 from SW81 -
needed for xpdf, Opera 7, and now cdrtools.  These might even work with 
BL3 and this same glibc.

I am very hesitant to upgrade to glibc so 2.3.1 (SW9.1).  Last time when I 
tried to upgrade the so library but not the full glibc it completely 
messed up my ability to compile (ar would not even work) and I could not 
manage to downgrade glibc.  glibc2.2.5 is huge and 2.3.1 even huger.

This machine has gcc 2.95 from SW71 /contrib, which has been able to 
compile things without any problems.  (I have not tried compiling 
the kernel, which it is said not to do correctly.)
