Console.app hogs CPU while looking at console log

Question

On my PowerBook G4 Console.app hogs the CPU when looking at the console log, but not at other logs. When switching to looking at the console log, this message is displayed:
Console[31127]: Error: failed to register for new message notifications (status code = 1000000)
Of course, the process number 31127 is not always the same. After this message appears, the app uses 60 to 70% of CPU time. Switching to another log, say system.log, CPU usage goes back down to % or less.
Of course the work-around is not to be looking at the console log. I would like to fix whatever is malfunctioning. BTW, an iMac G5, also running Leopard, does not exhibit this quirk.
TIA, Harald P.

Answer 1

I have this same issue ... on a Mac Pro 8 core box ... Console.app takes about 80% of a CPU while looking at 'All Messages', and the same console error is in the console:
"failed to register for new message notification"
Anyone have a solution for this?
