Sorry to rain on your parade, but when I compiled it using LSC v2.01
it worked fine. Mark that bug as closed.

A good rule of thumb is to always make sure you're using the latest
version. (There are exceptions (MS Word 3.0), but not many.)
After all, there are two reasons for versions in the first place,
and one of them is bug fixes. (Naming the other is left as an exercise
for the reader.)

On the other hand, it would be nice if Think included with their 
releases more detailed notes on what's been fixed, and where the known
bugs lie. Oh, well...
