There are two things I found with mkisofs:

1. The version I had opened the files in text mode; this may have
   been fixed in a later version.

2. djgpp 2.00 didn't return "." and ".." entries for readdir("/"),
   and mkisofs expected them.  2.01 should work OK, but it's
   safer to run mkisofs against a subdirectory until it's proven
   that mkisofs with 2.01 works correctly.

I was using mkisofs 1.01, so this was a while ago.
