 I have been running a kernel with this change since October 4th; barring
unrelated network router troubles, the pitiful little machine has
completed several builds without any interaction from me, and continues
to chug along.

 I re-read wd.c, and added appropriate printfs() to look for references
to dk_badsect[].  My changes should have printed something when dk_badsect[]
was referenced.

 I got no output :-(

 Thus, I'm forced to concluded that something else is examining some
spurious memory... which happened to be in dk_badsect[] of the disk structure
in wd.c.  I can find no other explanation of why this unnecessary
initialization causes things to operate correctly.

 On the premise that such an initialization isn't going to hurt anything,
I'm going to suggest it go into 2.0.

 I'd like to thank everyone for there assistance, particularly David,
John and Bruce.
