First I will say that this is happening with version 1.15, so if it is different in the newer versions please let me know.

I am using the option -c 1 to only read 1 sector at a time. The drive has many bad single sectors (I think it got bumped hard during a write and wrote across the disk in a spiral). So I don't want to read any bad sectors twice as it doubles the read time and I know they will not read. But even reading 1 sector at a time it still wants to trim the blocks and performs another read of all bad sectors, which like I stated doubles the read time. Is there a way to prevent this?
