Get HexEdit, there are OS 9 and OS X versions available.  It can 
search and browse data and resource forks.  It also comes with full 
source code and projects for Project Builder, CodeWarrior and MPW. 
Oh, and it's free and the source is covered under the Mozilla Public 
license.

BTW, does the filesystem busy keep you from doing anything with 
MacsBug?  Can you do a stack chain (SC7 or SC6 IIRC) or does MacsBug 
show a label where the crash is, like the name of a fragment or 
function?

Also is it the NOP that has the asterisk?  That's a strange place to 
crash.  I haven't used MacsBug in awhile so I might be off.
