I've just issued a smartmontools 5.23 release.  The 5.22 release contains
a (potentially) serious bug in smartd.  If an ATA packet device (typically
a CDROM or DVD) is detected with the DEVICESCAN option, then although it
is not registered or monitored, a file descriptor to the device is left
open.

This is fixed in 5.23, and is essentially the only difference between it
and the 5.22 release, which I've removed.
