Just for documenting this outside of Apple I am providing the detail of a bug report I filed today:

04-Feb-2009 09:18 AM Dominik Hoffmann:
Summary:
Often, when, after setting up the appropriate ssh tunnel, I use "Connect to Server" in the Finder, it crashes and relaunches after establishing the connection.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Terminal execute "ssh admin@HOSTNAME -L 10548:localhost:548" where HOSTNAME is the server address.
2. In Finder go to Connect to Server…
3. For "Server Address" enter "afp://USER@localhost:10548/SHARE" where USER is the user ID of the user on the system specified by HOSTNAME and SHARE is the share on HOSTNAME to which USER has access.
4. Click on the Connect button.

Expected Results:
The remote share is supposed to be mounted in the Finder as a volume and a window is supposed to open displaying the contents of the share.

Actual Results:
The remote share is mounted. Then the Finder crashes and automatically relaunches. Subsequently everything behaves normally. The remote share is fully functional.

Regression:
I have noticed this in all versions of Leopard since 10.5. I don't remember seeing this in Tiger. I have seen this on a G4 PowerMac, a MacBook, and a MacBook Pro.

Notes:
None.

Works for me, in 10.5, I use it daily.

The differences to your method are:

- I use the ssh options "ssh -NL" as not to execute a remote command
- For server address I skip the username and use a shorter form eg. "afp://localhost:10548" and then pick the sharepoint from the standard dialog

I experienced the same Finder crashes. The only (minor) difference is that I was using SSH local forwards rather than port forwarding.
