[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Hyperscan

Greetings
I am a member of Apple Canada's Apple Research Partnership Program
in Halifax.  We are grad students in various disciplines at
local Universities (there are 5 in Halifax) who work for
Apple to assist educational developers (professors or
grad students developing applications for their research).

Enough preamble.

Today, I tried to run Hyperscan, Bill's lovely stack.  Upon
it opening, I got a system error (#04) and it crashed.  We have
a MacIIx running System 6.03, 32bit Quickdraw, Finder 6.1, an
Applescanner, CD-ROM on the SCSI.
The only inits are for the CD-ROM and a deskpict.

The error in question is a div by zero error.  What is causing this?
Suggestions?  I ran the program on the SE in the lab and its fine.
All other stacks run fine as well.  AppleScan runs fine.  I reconnected
all the cables and dumped the inits as well, but the Stack keeps crashing.
I also reloaded the stack, the home stack, Hypercard itself and the
scanner startup document but all to no avail.

In another lab, a copy of that stack ran fine on a MacII with 
system 6.02 and no 32 bit quickdraw.

Can anyone offer a suggestion?  It is embarrasing to try and 
demonstrate my knowledge of the Mac to a professor and have
repeated crashes with no explanation!
