ARDAgent SIGKILL messages filling up syslog... any solution?

Sorry if this is the wrong forum - I'm not talking about Server, but Leopard 10.5.6 on my macbook. I have remote desktop enabled (via "Remote Management" in System Preferences->Sharing), and every 5 seconds I get messages like the following:
Mar 1 22:14:05 schroeder com.apple.launchd\[89472] (com.apple.RemoteDesktop.agent\[89511]): Did not die after sending SIGKILL 59250 seconds ago...
The only way to stop these (temporarily) is to killall ARDAgent (twice, for some reason). It stops, but then something happens to make it start up again. I haven't figured out what it is that triggers this.
Any ideas what's going on? Syslog eventually starts using significant amounts of CPU to handle these messages, and I shudder to think what it's doing to disk space.
Thanks,
sabrom

Here's a little snippet from the Console system's log:
