That's odd, it's failed for me once because I'd turned off Spotlight (which it uses to generate the report), but it doesn't sound like that's your problem.

If you're curious, you could try the real application: system_profiler ("About This Mac" runs system_profiler to generate the report).

I'd try (in a Terminal.app shell):

system_profiler SPApplicationsDataType

to get a report of all the applications, or just system_profiler for a full report.

E.g. you could

Launch Terminal.app (from Applications/Utilities), and give it the next line (I'm a big fan of copy/paste for long keywords like this):

system_profiler SPApplicationsDataType > ~/Desktop/MyApps.txt

And it should generate a report on your Desktop with the name MyApps.txt that includes 32/64-bit status for all your apps.

Or ... running it might produce a more useful error message from system_profiler if it's crashing.
