 To repo - I have done this *4* times now:

 - Get a cdrom with "user" mount permissions in fstab.

 - Put a cd in the tray. Leave the tray open so you have some extra
time.

 - Open two terminals.

 - In terminal #1, type "killall -9 mount", but do not press enter.

 - In terminal #2, type "mount /cdrom" (or whatever), and press enter.

 - In terminal #1, press enter, then up-arrow, then enter, then
up-arrow, etc.

 Each time I have tried this, the problem has been reproduced.
