FileMaker frailty

Under AppleScript 1.9, OS 10.2, FileMaker 6.0v3 (or 5.5), the following
(simplified) script causes FileMaker to crash:

set someNames to {"Moe", "Larry", "Curly"}

repeat with aName in someNames

tell application "FileMaker Pro"

try
show (last record of database "Customers" where cell "First" is
aName)
end try

end tell

end repeat

Sometimes it will crash immediately, sometime it will get through the first
attempt to show a record, but it will invariably crash FMP. Single-stepping
through it in Script Debugger will sometimes, unpredictably, get the entire
script to run.

Is this a FileMaker issue? A Jaguar issue? An AppleScript issue? The same
script running with FMP 5.0, OS 9.2.2, and AS 1.6 works fine. I'm stumped.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Bill
