Recent changes in script behaviour? (OS X)

At least one of my scripts has stopped working since I upgraded to OS X
10.1.5 and AS 1.8.3.

This simple script toggles the active state of a freeware utility that
displays all the characters available in a font. It starts by checking
whether or not the utility is running, and originally began thus:

tell application "Finder"
if "PickChar" is in name of every process then

That used to work just fine, but when I tried to run it a few moments ago, I
got an error telling me that the Finder couldn't get the name of every
process. The script was restored when I changed that to this:

Tell application "Finder" to set theProcs to name of every process
If "PickChar" is in theProcs then

What happened to break the original script?
