I beleive its because you are running a 68k application on OS 8.5 (check the about this computer, in the apple menu for the OS version), which ships with the G3s. OS8.5 stripped away a lot of the old 68k code which some applications use, hence the drop-out. My advice is update to PowerPC versions, and if you already have, sorry for wasting your time!
