Automator workflow fails -OT

I would guess this is off topic so forgive me trying to resolve this here.


Using OSX 10.6.8
I have an automator workflow that should launch the web site popup. It runs an A/S that takes a value input and concatenates it to a URL string and passes it to the Web site Popup action.
The A/S is:
on run {input, parameters}


set this_URL to "http://www.qrz.com/db/" & (input as string)


return this_URL
end run


I use it as a contextual menu item, I highlight text and it should popup the web site.
It was working a few months ago and them just started failing with the following dialogue

Description: Adobe PDF document


In case that doesn't come through, it reads
"The operation couldn't be completed.
(com.apple.Automator error 0.)"

I've put a 'Get Specified Text' at the beginning and run it in Automator and Automator crashes. The beginning of the crash log is
