How much RAM/SWAP is in your system?  It looks like it can't create a buffer.
(I think that number above is in kbytes (not 100% sure, so that works out to 64
megs),  if you have low ram already it is probably failing because of the
allocation of one large block of memory isn't completable.

Try running the cdrecord command as root and see if it succeeds, if so the
setuid perms on cdrecord are probably incorrect.
