If your key just expired on you, fear not. Gentoo apparently has a free pass. Fetch the key and burn away.
Oh, that’s just great. I still had a few processes running around that cdrecord-proDVD leaves when it alarms to death if you have an expired key.

Apparently it crapped my perfectly good burn, in progress. Now I’m out a DVD-R. And no, I can’t use growisofs, it craps on my hardware and doesn’t support BurnFree. What’s more, it’s a bad hack.
