10.5: One fix for a runaway syslogd process
Authored by: jkulak on Aug 04, '09 05:18:33PM

In my case syslogd went crazy because of Last.fm application (audio scrobbler), while I wasn't even listening to iTunes (I guess it was turned on, but not playing). I had Transmission turned on at the same time, and downloading 8 files from 100 people, but it didn't affect syslogd in any way.

I just simply quit the last.fm process and the CPU temperature felt back from 80'C to 52'C... (and so did CPU usage)

File /var/log/asl/2009.08.05.asl was 1,4GB (I deleted it as well)
