Well In my version of Minix (1.3, and counting!) badblocks doesn't work with
blocks > 8192.  It takes them all right, but they are not properly marked, cause
as soon as I write to one, I get unrecoverable errors on blocks I told badblocks
to mark.  Does anyone have a fix relative to 1.3?  I'm trying to catch up to
1.5, but can't get past some of these bad spots on my disk!
