A more accurate description for this hint would be "Run Starcraft on case-sensitive partitions." Actually, not just Starcraft, since there are other applications (older ones, especially) which have similar troubles.

What question bugs me, however, is: why would anyone with a case-sensiteve HFS partition need to run Starcraft?

Unix hackers like to play Starcraft too. :)

I can confirm that the case-insensitive HFS+ filesystem is still the default filesystem as of Mac OSX Tiger 10.4.3. However, as of Tiger the case-sensitive filesystem has been an option when installing the desktop version of the OS. (Server version was available in Panther.)

I can't speak definitively [Don't have Starcraft], but i'd guess that some of its supporting files have names that would be duplicates on a case-insensitive system.
