In Activity Monitor, select the process then choose Inspect Process. In the pop-up window, select Open Files and Ports. The top line should tell you the source location such as:
/Applications/BBEdit.app/Contents/Helpers/Crash Reporter.app/Contents/ Helpers/crash-catcher I find that I have two instances running- one for BBEdit 9.3.1 and one for Yojimbo 2. Interestingly, The Yojimbo version is 64 bit while the BBEdit version is not. In the time I've been typing this message, neither has used any CPU and the BBEdit version is using only 760 KB of my 6 GB of RAM. You could potentially delete Crash Reporter.app, but it seems little gain could be had from it.
