[G4] OS 10.2.5

Actually not true. Apple suggests not running repair privs from the drive
that you are booted from. See articles:

61352

Even if you launch Disk Utility for that matter and click the First Aid tab
it tells you that in the window. Mac Help from the help menu it will even
tell you that you can't repair a disk from the boot drive.

If you have problems with a disk or disk partition, use Disk Utility to test
and repair it. You can also verify and repair permissions on a Mac OS X
startup disk to control access to the disk.

To test and repair a disk, you need to log in using an administrator
account. If you aren't logged in as an administrator, click the lock icon in
the Disk Utility window and type an administrator name and password.

You can't test or repair the startup disk or volume.

Repairing permissions on the startup disk or volume is a good practice to
keep file permissions in order on the disk. If your computer's performance
slows down a lot, repairing disk permissions may solve this problem. Using
Disk Utility to repair permissions is also a good maintenance task after
updating the system or installing new software.
