Ran your code here without a problem (OS 9.1 on a clone with a G4). 
Your email didn't describe the problem, so I'm assuming it was 
obvious when running on your machine. If it isn't, a short 
description would be helpful. Most problems are either related to the 
code or the operating system and not usually the machine.
