Resource fork hex editor

I'm looking for a hex editor/dumper  or similar that understands resource forks and will colour code (or similar) the bits of the file (e.g. resource name list, reference list, individual resources, etc).

Context: I have two copies of a background-only application.  One is broken; the other is not.  The working copy breaks when I shut down after using it, so I have to restore it from a fresh copy and restart every time I want to use it.  This seems a bit odd.  Diffing the resource forks raw shows 32 bits near the beginning being set to FFFFFFFF in the broken one which looks a bit suspicious.  DeRezzing both files and diffing the .rs shows no difference.  I am trying to work out what this 32-bit quantity actually is, and my short-term memory is too rubbish to dissect this by hand. :-)
