I have had this on my mac too.
And then last week the bloody beach ball came up and stayed up for like 10 minutes when I went to adjust a type size in InDesign, I couldn't do shit, so I had to do a hard shutdown, and it wouldn't go past the grey apple screen.
Tried going into single user mode and running fsck, and I also tried running the panther cd and repairing permissions, and then did a hardware test, had no problems with any of that. Turns out the SMART feature on the hard drive for reporting errors is next to useless and my hard drive was actually dying. Lost all data. Had to get a new hard drive last friday. Thats about the 5th thing to go wrong with my powerbook.
Luckly anything important I had on my trusty and much more reliable PC :)
