I googled  "Process name (null) on OS X"  and came up with this:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Process+name+%28null%29+on+OS+X&btnG=Google+Search";

I guess you have already done this because the results seem to refer to A Classic environment or apps which doesn't add up in your case...

A mystery...

No comments on this issue, eh? I suppose you'd have to be a serious OS X
geek to know about something like this.
What I find when I Google is that it's:
Something to do with the Classic environment, which I've never allowed to
load on the machine.
Some anonymous app that consumes massive amounts of CPU cycles. These apps
are not anonymous since their icons are right there beside the (null), and
they use the CPU about the way I would expect them to.

This is a new(refurb) notebook from Apple running 10.5, so I wonder if it's
a glitch that an update will fix.

There is a curiosity I've noticed lately. Beside the symbols for the
Thunderbird, Sunbird, and Audio Hijack applications in Activity Monitor, it
calls the process name (null) instead of their names. These apps seem to be
working properly and quitting them a restarting them does not help. I did a
little Googling and did not find anything helpful except that the system is
not recognizing their names.
Does anyone know what's going on?
