On my system, it indicated bad spots on the drive.

In fact, I can trace virtually every one of the lost interrupt messages that 
I have received sine 0.9 came out to trying to read a bad (or recoverable) 
spot on the disk.  They seem to run in groups of 16 or so.

The latest version of bad144 will let you remap the spot if there is data on 
it, and will try and recover the data.  I tried it the other night, and it 
worked great.
