If these defects include the defects that came with the disk from the
manufacturer, you shouldn't be surprised. I remember when working with
SunOS and the format program there that it wasn't unusual to see a new
disk with a "manufacturer's defect list" which contained between 50 and
200 defects, depending on the size of the disk.
