Oh dear.  I took a look at cd.c , and it looks like you may be right :(
Thanks anyway. 

Perhaps a cron daemon could detect (in timely fashion) that the cd had been
ejected, if the drive was mounted but not locked? Hmmm... The CD is being
read pretty nearly continuously anyway, as part of a high-volume rng, and
for verification purposes...  Back to the drawing board!

It's for a public program <www.m-o-o-t.org> to be used on many machines, so
regrettably that wouldn't be practical :)
