Maybe it has something to do with the random timeout errors present in 10.6? Did you try on 10.5 or 10.6?

The handler nameOfHandlerInBigStuff was running very nicely doing its business with lots of data when I got a dialog telling me that I had a -1712 error, "BigStuff has timed out.". I clicked "OK" and nameOfHandlerInBigStuff continued running correctly. So I changed the "Helper" script to ...

on run
tell application "Finder" to set hostAppl to (container of container of container of (path to me)) as text
ignoring application responses
try
launch application hostAppl
tell application hostAppl to nameOfHandlerInBigStuff()
on error errText number errNr
activate me
if errNr = -128 then return
"Helper Error = " & errNr & return & errText
tell me to display dialog the result buttons {"OK"} default button 1

end ignoring

Problem fixed! But, why should I get a Timed Out error?
