The patch attached to the report originated with SuSE and has presumably circulated
in some format to most other distros, but has never been merged by upstream. (Actually,
I'm not sure that eject still *has* a viable upstream. I can't find any evidence
of recent
activity on the project's Sourceforge page.) So: eject bug, not a problem for most
distros, and not TDEHW's fault.

For your TDEHW to do list:
I rebuilt pmount with --enable-hal=no. No difference.
In case eject had some HAL dependencies, I installed hal and started the HAL daemon. No
difference.
I rebuilt eject with a slew of patches from Arch. At least one of the patches makes a big
difference with ejecting CDs/DVDs.
