Holy smokes! Have you reported this problem to Microsoft?
But first, have you installed VS 2008 Service Pack 1 to make sure it isn't already fixed?

To the best of my knowledge, I am not doing anything differently than
what I was doing when I used VS2003. VS2003 was not sensitive to
the .rc file being modified outside of VS, while VS2008 is (VS2008
crashes)

I've run into this many times. I often hand-edit the rc file (for certain
things, it's just faster and easier) - I quickly discovered that VS08 will
often crash very soon after. Quicker if you actually have some resources
open. I quickly learned that if I'm going to hand-edit, I'd better close
the project first. ("soon after" is anywhere from 1 second to several
minutes)
