A couple days I posted a note asking:

I received a few replies, one of which pointed me to ftp'ing
a program from NeXT.com.  The program is called "reasb" (for
"reassign block") and is anonymous ftp-able from next.com in
the directory /pub/Misc/Utilities/reasb.  I compiled and ran
the program and it seems to do the trick--that is, I no longer
am getting the scsi/"bread" error messages.

Thanks to Bob Brown (brown@quorum.com) for pointing the way to this.
