If you believe the fork is not broken, then you don't seem to use it.

wodim does not deal with hald and has many other problems including missing DVD 
support.

genisoimage does not support UTF-8 and large files and creates filesystem 
images with lots of bugs.

If you don't notice, well.... Wait until you like to read the filesystem from a 
OS that does nto tolerate the bugs from genisoimage ;-)
