I can reproduce this bug.

it's an upsteram problem... please try this workaround that the authors of dvd+rw-tools suggest:

IMPORTANT NOTE! Newer Linux kernels have ridiculously low default
memorylocked resource limit, which prevents privileged users from
starting growisofs 6.0 with "unable to anonymously mmap 33554432:
Resource temporarily unavailable" error message. Next version will
naturally have workaround coded in, but meanwhile you have to issue
following command at command prompt prior starting growisofs:

if you run C-like shell, issue 'limit memorylocked unlimited';
if you run Bourne-like shell, issue 'ulimit -l unlimited';

Is this solved now in 6.1?
