DiskWarrior
Update, 1:45 PM: I'm up to Step 6 now. Thanks to everyone who replied and chatted with me in AIM to let me know that things were proceeding normally. 
My PowerMac G4 has had two kernel panics in the last two weeks. This time, after I rebooted, iChat didn't load properly (it did the 2nd time), and either did Stickies.
So I'm now rebooted into my DiskWarrior CD, and I clicked Graph. After a long while I got an error message, it couldn't graph my disk because an unexpected error occurred. (2403, -50). I couldn't find anything about this error message on the web. The documentation said if I get this i should reboot. So I did.
This time I clicked Rebuild instead of Graph. It's been on Step 5 of 11, Locating directory data, for well over an hour. Is this the step that's supposed to take so long? It's been a long time since I ran DiskWarrior so I have no idea.

I’ve seen Disk Warrior take up to 45 minutes to do a rebuild – can’t remember the disk size but I think it was around 10 gig and it was pretty full. But since you got that other error, I’d say the 1hr is a bit suspicious.

Yes, it takes a long time w/ OS X installed. All those files really slow down disk utilities. I think the whole disk warrior rebuild process took about 14 hours on KT’s iMac the first time I ran it.

Ugh. And I have a LOT of files, let me tell you. 28 GB of data, and
tons of those are little files from various copies/backups of different
distributions of things like opennms and it’s prereqs, plone,
webobjects and WO projects, etc.
I think the day is lost. Nuts.
