DiskWarrior frozen — "lack of memory"

I have a macbook pro with SL. I'm trying to run DiskWarrior from a thumb drive that has SL installed on it. Whenever I start the "rebuild directory" cycle, everything goes fine and dandy until step 5. The window then says "Speed reduced by lack of memory". Soon after that, the cursor freezes. I left it alone for 15 hours, but nothing changed and I had to do a force restart.

I booted up again from the thumb drive, opened Activity Monitor, and checked on the memory. It says I've got about 570 mb of free RAM, so I don't understand why DiskWarrior says it doesn't have enough memory.

I'd very much appreciate any help you can offer!
