I get a different but consistent number in Jaguar, a different number
every time in OS 9.2.2, but the expected error in OS 8.6. It seems to be
something to do with coercions and the fact that '(text item 2 of "9")'
is a reference. If you multiply it by 1 rather than 1 by it, the expected
error occurs on all three systems.
