This is nothing special, in fact the other month there were postings here of the exact same thing.
It makes absolutly no difference what OS you use, fast CD drives do have this happen, there is no absolute speed limit. The exact cause has never been conclusively proven.
The most likely reason is manufacturing defects (I use the word loosly). It seems one cause is basically metal fatigue, or maybe in manufacturing this one disk cooled just a nanosecond to fast causing a very very well within spec. difference in surface tension. Whatever the reason you end up with a shear edge where the quality of the CD alters (remember this is happening at the atomic level, you'd be damn lucky to see this with inspection X-rays). Now you subject this CD to high rpm and the heat associated with it and you have the perfect conditons for that shear edge to split. It happens rarely but it does happen.
