OPTIMIZE TABLE takes a very long time, can I kill it?

[Jim Nachlin]

A few days ago, Dennis T Cook asked this list if it is OK to abort a 
OPTIMIZE that is taking a very long time.  I am also wondering this. 
Will it cause any damage to the half-optimized table, adnd is there a 
right and a wrong way to stop this process?

Any help appreciated!
