The correct syntax is:

tell application "Finder" to get every process whose creator type is "MACS"

And yes, it times out for me. Using this:

tell application "Finder" to get creator type of every process

Returns {"", "????", "MACS", "dock", "syui", "QD_X", "Blhz", "snpZ", "sgiK",
"Qkys", "MODd", "Aio9", "Blhd", "KMKX", "????", "????", "CMon", "pbxa",
"MSWD", "OPIM", "MSIE", "ttxt", "netc", "ToyS", "sevs"}
