This is a report that a helpful contact turned up for us by following
up a forum posting made by the affected person.  It describes another
problem caused by the "Tubular Bells 2003" corrupt CD.

Well, it's a Pioneer DVD-116 drive, and it used to work fine, up until I
tried to play the Tubular Bells 2003 disc. The drive spent a long time,
up to a minute, trying to "pick up" the disc, where it spun up and down
again repeatedly, and made rather disturbing clicking noises. (Which it
does not normally do.)

Eventually I gave up and punched the eject button. Since then, the drive
has never worked properly. It *does* still read CDs, just, but now it
takes a very long time to recognise that you have put a CD in, and will
sometimes "drop" a CD, and have to spin it down and up again before it
will continue to read.

It is of course quite possible that this is all coincidence, and that it
stopped working just before I tried the Tubular Bells 2003 CD, but that
would be an awfully large coincedince.

The CD has since been returned for a refund.
