Thanks for the quick followup, Miro!

I can't usefully compare the files produced on the different drives, I 
expect because the SYM file format contains timestamps or some such. 
Fortunately I don't need to. If I copy the project folder including the 
xSYM file from one drive to another then MPW's 'equal' reports that the 
files are identical. Debugging still works only on the non-Firewire 
drive.

Nice to hear from you Ron!

I imagine you'd need one from FirewireDirect. I'd hope they'd be 
willing to loan you one in an effort to track the problem down.

I didn't, but I don't need to generate the xSYM file on the firewire 
device to see the error. All I need to do is open it from the firewire 
device.

...

I do have one new datum to report. I can debug on the Firewire drive if 
I connect it to a Firewire Powerbook. My guess is that the relevant 
difference is the processor.

To resummarize, the problem occurs with the following:

CW Pro 6 or 6.1
Apple Firewire extensions 2.5 or 2.7
MacOS 9.1
A FirewireDirect external hard drive
A G4 Macintosh
