[pstricks] pst3d-solides: what can possibly be wrong with this code?

Following the directions on p. 107 of the pst3d-solides docs, the following code
##############################################################
% !TEX TS-program = latex
\listfiles
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{pst-solides3d, pst-3dplot, pst-math,pstricks-add}
\usepackage{pst-3d}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
		\begin{pspicture}(-0.5,-3.5)(3,3.5)
			\defFunction{gFunct}(u,v){v cos u mul}{v sin u mul}{1 u dup mul sub sqrt}
			\psSolid[object=surfaceparametree,
%				range=[0 0.9 0 360],
				base=0 0.9 0 360,
				function=gFunct,
				fillcolor=blue!10,
					]
		\end{pspicture}
\end{center}
\end{document}
##############################################################
leads to a crash (see below).   What can be causing it?
Notes:
1. The text says the range of the function in surfaceparametree is determined by range=[umin umax vmin vmax]
but in the examples, it appears to be given by base=umin umax vmin vmax.  I have one commented, the other
applied.  The crash occurs in either case.
2. This is supposed to draw the upper hemishphere of radius 1, but I have let u go only to 0.9 (instead of 1)
to make sure the problem is not rounding when subtracting and therefore trying square root of a negative
(when computing z(u,v)).
