PROBLEM: system freeze while acessing a specific iso image or the damaged CD from it was taken

[1.] One line summary of the problem:
system freeze while acessing a specific iso image or the damaged CD
from it was taken

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
I took a CD with the proceedings of a congress (in portuguese) for
copying. I done a copy with something like
# dd if=device of=file.iso
This command finished reporting a "IO error" but I mounted the ISO image with
# mkdir test
# mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso test
and tried to list one specific directory with ls, then the system hangs:
# cd test/II_Forum_IA_2001
# ls
Then the system was completely freezed. I was in a X terminal, and
couldn't change to a text terminal, and even the numlock/capslock keys
didn't work anymore.
I tried this in a Ubuntu 5.04 and a Fedora Core 4 systems, with the
same results (I will send information from the Fedora). The same
happened when I tried to access the CD directly.
Interesting enough, I was able to read this directory in a Windows
machine and extract the file I wanted, and I am not sure if that time
all files were present or not.

[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
Not sure.

[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):
Linux version 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ([email protected])
(gcc version 4.0.0 20050525 (Red Hat 4.0.0-9)) #1 Thu Jun 2 22:55:56
EDT 2005

[5.] Output of Oops.. message
No Oops message, but I found this in /var/log/messages:
Apr 25 22:54:34 localhost kernel: loop: loaded (max 8 devices)
Apr 25 22:54:36 localhost kernel: SELinux: initialized (dev loop0,
type iso9660), uses genfs_contexts

[6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
     problem (if possible)
- download the file example_freeze.iso (14MB)  from:
http://gakeller.no-ip.org:18080/~gakeller/example_freeze.iso
It's my cable at home. It will be a bit slow, but I don't have
anything better now :-(
Please let me know when you downloaded this file, because my server is
normally restricted tto a known range of IPs.
- execute:
mkdir test
mount -o loop -t iso9660 example_freeze.iso test
cd tst/II_Forum_IA_2001
ls

This is a comment.
I was somewhat disappointed with this bug, because I conceive that a
OS must be rock solid in respect to its the devices and the I/O. I was
trying to read a corruped CD? OK, I could got a error message instead
of the files I wanted, but never the system freezed.
Some years ago, I was a novice with Linux and done a confusion with
scsi numbers, so I formatted the root filesystem of a box running a
2.0.x kernel. The system progressively wrote more and more messages to
the console - in the end was impossible to start any new process
because binaries were washed out, but the system didn't freeze! What a
rock solid implementation! That impressed me! Ok, I was happy when
were installed safety mechanisms against formatting the root
filesystem in a running machine, but I am even happier if I have a OS
capable of surviving to any HW failure, including corrupted file
systems. I would be very glad if you fix this bug (unfortunately I
don't know how to do this) and perhaps solve something much more
serious than just reading a corrupted CD.

Thanks very much for you work on the Linux Kernel,
