badsect and dump

We're (still) running 4.1bsd on our VAX 11/750. Today I found out that if
you've used "badsect" on a file system (to take some bad sectors out of action)
and then "dump" the file system, "dump" will still try to read the "badsect"ed
sectors. Ugly--it hung the controller in our case.
I'd appreciate it if you wizards would check to ensure that this change to
"icat" in "dumptraverse.c" is right:
.
.
.
#ifdef OLDVERSION
(*fn1)(d[i]); else
#else /* !OLDVERSION */
(*fn1)((ip->di_size == 0) ? 1 : d[i]); else
#endif /* !OLDVERSION */
.
.
.
I'd also like word on whether we'll be facing this problem in 4.2 and 4.3.
Thanks for your help.
