I transferred 1 Gb of data twice while executing the scan command as above.
I got 3 corrupted blocks on the first transfer and 2 on the second, which is
more than I normally expect.  Usually, I have to transfer 2 or 3 Gb before I
see one bad block.  Not conclusive, but it supports your hunch.

The length of each bad run was 1445 bytes.
