I'm afraid in my haste I failed to mention that I first encountered the problem when I used as a boot drive one of my bootable clones located on another internal drive. I do that when I'm using Disk Utility and DiskWarrior to maintain my main hard drive that contains Sandbox and Macintosh HD. The first time there was a problem was right after I'd copied Sandbox to Macintosh HD. After copying to Macintosh HD, I booted from another internal drive because I wanted to do maintenance on Macintosh HD before using it as the source to update the bootable clones on the other internal drives and the SD! sparse image on Time Capsule. I've recently updated to Adobe Creative Suite 4, Design Premium and have been using system 10.5.8 heavily since it first was released without any problems at all so I wanted to update all of the clones. Manually installing CS4 on each clone is an unreasonable burden. The page 38 procedure is my way of avoiding it. I also wanted to accomplish the mass updating before attempting to change the partition on the main hard drive. Sandbox has only 23Gb available and Macintosh HD has 72Gb available. I thought bumping up Sandbox to 50Gb available might help with performance on some of the Adobe apps.
The reason I made a connection between SD! and the problem with DiskWarrior is that the problem first occurred right after the page 38 procedure was run. I've been using DiskWarrior for many years and this is the first time I've ever had a problem with it. After encountering the problem while using a bootable clone, I tried using the DW's DVD, but I got the same result. I thought that, if you'd had any complaints about SD! and 10.5.8 or Security Update 2009-004, my situation would make sense to you. Since it does not, I'll just have to watch MacFixit to see if anything else pops up. Thanks for your kind response.
