In a previous discussion re the above, I received a reply today from Brian Hill, author of MacJanitor.

TIA...jf > It doesn't affect MacJanitor, since it calls the periodic tool directly to handle that (ie.,similar to "sudo periodic daily" in Terminal). The calendar jobs bug has no effect, since you are running them manually, instead of on a schedule. I've been told that Apple finally fixed the calendar jobs (or cron) issues as of 10.4.4, but have also heard conflicting reports on whether it's actually fixed. In any case, it wouldn't affect MacJanitor's operations either way (though once they get it working properly, there will be little need to run MacJanitor anymore).
