Help!

I seem to have some bad sectors on my disk, and am trying to fix them
using diskdefect.  However, whenever I run it, it dumps core!  

Anyone have an idea of what could be the problem??  For your info,
below is an exerpt from my /var/log/messages file showing the errors I
am getting prompting me to run diskdefect.

P.S.  BSDI support is no help whatsoever!
