I have seen this before.  The problem was generally that the improperly
unpacked file was an application with the Bundle bit set.  The finder
tried to scan the resource fork (which was trashed) for a BNDL resource
and crashed.  Thus, rebuilding the desktop will NOT help.  You might be
able to boot from a floppy, go into an application and use a DA (Utils,
for example) to mount the hard disk and remove the offending file.  If
the bad file is on a floppy, it's obviously easier.
