 The patch I suggested got a little messed up by the web form, and it
 also contained a typo. Further, I had neglected to consider the
 C_BS flag itself should be present after masking off the few allowed
 flags, so the patch should be amended as such follows.
 
  if (ddflags & C_BS) {
      out.dbcnt = in.dbcnt;
 -    dd_out(1);
 +    dd_out((ddflags & !(C_NOERROR | C_NOTRUNC | C_SYNC)) == C_BS);
      in.dbcnt = 0;
      continue;
  }
 
 This patch has been tested to confirm conv=sparse now works as expected
 with bs= set. No other conversions have been checked with the bs=
 option and from reading the code I don't think they will.
