I used it in version prior to 10,2,6 with no problems. However, the 
250,000 files on my drive took so long to optimize that I stopped after 
a few runs.

I did mention that journaling was causing problems and journaling is 
turned on for the internal drive in 10.3.

The problem resolves itself for those Macs that don't boot OS 9.
