Really? I was sure the manpage said otherwise, but now that I look
again, it doesn't seem to be saying anything at all about it. Should it
not be amended to explain this?

By the way, what happens to the sectors on the new disk that corresponds
to the bad ones on the old disk, and would that affect only that sector
on the new disk, or the entire containing PE?
