You've discovered another bug.  Phpwiki and your older MySQL are
squabbling.  Apparently the "OPTIMIZE" command is only supported
in newer MySQL's.  The reason you haven't seen the error before
is that the OPTIMIZE gets done at random, on about 1 out 
of every 50 page saves.

I don't _think_ there should be any bad side effects other than the error
message itself.
