I have had a similar experience, although I don't know why.  My copy of AFE at
work never ever crashes, but here at home:

I have a Mac SE with MacsBug installed, so instead of "System Error ID=02" I
get dropped into MacsBug with "Unimplemented Instruction error".  The strange
thing is that if I type "g" for "go" twice, the program will continue
starting up and works like a charm.  (You obviously can't do this without
some kind of Macintosh debugger installed.)

Maybe I just have a bad version of AFE; I'm going to try bringing a new one
home someday and see if that fixes it (I normally use MPW IIgs's tool
"DuplicateIIgs" because it does resource forks as well).

I directed follow ups to this to comp.sys.mac so that someone who actually
knows what he's talking about can take it from here.
