Subject:    Bug#1380: Bug in kscd(kdemultimedia-1.1)

Package: kdemultimedia
Version: 1.1

I am running KDE-1.1 on FreeBSD-3.1 RELEASE.  When I try to run kscd I
get the following message and a core dump:

	As root, please run

	chmod 666 /dev/rmcd0c

	to give yourself permission to access the CD-ROM device.
	Segmentation fault - core dumped

I discovered that the "wm_open" routine in plat_freebsd.c was returning
the wrong status code on failure.  The "kscd" defaults to opening
/dev/rmcd0c.  I have a SCSI CD-ROM (/dev/rcd0c) not a Mitsumi
(dev/rmcd0c).  When wm_open tries to open the device it fails and
returns a status that the drive is open, but there is no disk in the
drive.  By modifying the return code I was able to keep kscd from
crashing, then configure the correct CD-ROM device.
