Out of curiosity, why are you telling the Finder to do this? None of these

If so, stop that. ;)
In the old, and now gone on my machines, era when an applet executing a
scripting addition command (not sure about coercion) in its own memory
space leaked memory in the applet's memory space, telling a handy
application (Finder) to do the command was a good thing. Now it's a bad
thing.
I forget what version of Mac OS (or System) included the fixed
AppleScript...I am therefore not sure any version running on 68K machines
fixes it.
