It works for me.

That "open circuit" message isn't always a problem.  It means 
there was a matrix singularity, which could be during iteration 
and not a final result.

"open circuit" means that there is a high impedance at a node, 
so high that it is impossible to calculate a voltage.  For 
example, think of two capacitors in series.  What is the DC 
voltage at the junction?  it's unknown!

I don't see anything like that for your circuit, but when not 
converged anything can happen.
