Public bug reported:
rlsyslogd is a runaway process hogging one of my CPUs.
The following is repeatedly logged in my syslog:
Aug 22 20:41:00 alonzo gnome-shell[369997]: The offending callback was
SourceFunc().
Aug 22 20:41:00 alonzo gnome-shell[369997]: Attempting to run a JS callback
during garbage collection. This is most likely caused by destroying a Clutter
actor or GTK widget with ::destroy signal connected, or using the destroy(),
dispose(), or remove() vfuncs. Because it would crash the application, it has
been blocked.
The CPU fan is really cranking.
I killed rsyslogd and that didn't seem to resolve it; I then restarted
lightdm.
