I have never had cleanini crash.

Y is answer yes. I never use it. I think all the lockups I have had
have been in the abstract objects section. If I skip that section the
rest runs to completion. But, it apparently doesn't fix things, because
every time it runs it complains about the same non-existent objects. It
also keeps asking if I want it to check partitions on a drive that is
not currently plugged in.
