Choose File Crashing Finder

I'm using this snippet of code ...

try
"Choose an audio file (AIFF, MPG3, M4A , WAVE) ..."
choose file with prompt the result of type {"public.audio"} without invisibles
on error
return -- user Cancelled
end try


On my Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics) with OS X 10.4.9 and earlier, it has worked perfectly.

While a friend was testing this code on an Intel Mac with 10.4.9, the Finder crashed (spinning color wheel that never stops) and had to be restarted. I fixed the problem by including the snippet in a 'tell application "Finder"' block.

While another friend, also on an Intel Mac with 10.4.9, was testing this new code, the problem reappeared.

Are there any known problems with 'choose file'? On an Intel Mac?
