My guess is that this is because you are using an
out-of-date copy of -chitest-. Perhaps you downloaded
the program from http://www.stata.com/users/njc/tab_chi
which holds an older version (supposedly, for any remaining
users of Stata 5.0; any such on Statalist?).
The version on SSC allows the -count- option, which is
why it worked for me.

The macro will get dropped anyway, as it
is local, and thus invisible outside the .do file,
but this does no harm.
