Has anyone who's been seeing this issue been running the last.fm scrobbler? Syslogd seems to have stopped being naughty after I turned it off.

I have -- the Last.fm process wouldn't quit normally and was also eating up >40% CPU time. syslogd CPU time wouldn't drop until I killed the Last.fm process. Looks like Last.fm needs to be notified of the bug.
