I sent my Pentax *ist D just before the end of the one
year warranty to Colorado because of what I thought
were a high number of hot pixels:

6 hot pixels at 1/60 sec
7 at 1/15 sec
13 at 1/4 sec
37 at 1 sec

It came back after 4 weeks with a note stating that:

"We completed an evaluation of your product and have
run a program designed to eliminate "hot" pixels.  It
is not common for a sensor with millions of light
sensitive areas to have this phenomenon."

I did a quick test last night, and now there are 4 hot
pixels at 1 sec and none at 1/4, 1/15, and 1/60 sec. 
For your information, I used the "deadpixeltest"
program.
