[comp.sys.mac] INIT Fragmentation

I have recently had problems with my Mac Plus hanging in the middle of the boot
process.  It seems to hang either before or after it loads Superclock! or
SuperSpool 5.5df.  At first I thought that somehow SuperSpool became corrupted
so I pulled a copy off of my backup set.  This cured the problem for a few
days.

I had been having the problem for the past week and a half until I ran
DiskExpress.  This seems to have cured the problem.

So, my question is this: could the fact that an INIT became fragmented cause
problems during the boot process?  I do have about 20 or 30 INITs that I use
and thought it could have been a conflict with one of them but I don't think
this is the case anymore.  Thanks in advance for any help.
