Nah, just stop here. That's silly. Look at the date of the bug. It's a recent
discovery. Compare with when I started complaining about several different
things. That started much earlier. It's the sum of it as why I'm fed up
for some time.

Uh? You shouldn't ask for bug numbers if you diagnose the cause like
that. With kernel-2.6.23.15-137.fc8 and earlier (Fedora 8, Fedora 7 and
earlier) k3b has no trouble verifying written data. It started with the
2.6.24 kernels. So, even if k3b may really need to catch up with some
device driver changes now, first there's the evidence that the kernel
broke something. And btw, that's not just my observation.
