It doesn't appear to be lsdvd that's the problem. It looks like maybe an 
issue with Event::ExecFlow. When I start dvd::rip, a `ps aufx` shows it 
running with no child processes. However, immediately after I click the 
"Read DVD table of contents" button, it acquires a zombie child process:


klevin    8906  2.7  0.8 138612 34696 ?        S    15:15   0:01 
/usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/dvdrip
klevin    8969  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    15:16   0:00  \_ 
[sh] <defunct>

There's never any indication that lsdvd has actually been called (the 
access light on the dvd drive never turns on, and I don't hear it spin up).
