I just tried the following in v400 without  any problems.

Ewulo, just checking:
   1. Have you chosen the "module" language?
   2. Are you using version 1.1 of sicp.plt ?
   3. Which file and line does the error "string->number: expects 
argument of type <string>; given #f"
       refer to?
   4. Which platform are you using?
