>Description:

	The code as distributed by Walnut Creek (so you may not actually care
	about this) has several asserts in mkisofs which cause the program
	to not run unless certain options are supplied on the command line
	(i.e. -N -d) which are not noted as required options on the man page
	and are noted to use with caution.

>How-To-Repeat:

	cd /tmp;mkisofs -o /var/tmp/foo -R .


>Fix:
	
	Remove the asserts in mkisofs.c lines 335 and 336:
		assert(omit_version_number);
		assert(omit_period);

	Alternatively update the man page or perhaps add a -W for Walnut Creek
	options and note these in the man page (presumably forcing a -d -N).

State-Changed-Why:  
This seems to be a problem with mkisofs itself, for which we don't 
feel directly responsible.  Please submit this to the author of 
mkisofs so he can correct the man page. 

mkisofs is no longer part of the base system, that's why i'm closing 
this PR now.
