Reboot, logged into KDE4
Massive cpu usuage, top reveals python and syslog-ng as the culprits

Find literally thousands of the messages below:
May 7 13:51:55 dellazoid famd[2999]: fd 4 message length 1347375956 bytes exceeds max of 4136.

Decided to try logging into Gnome instead and the problem dissapears.
Anyone know the reason for this and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Apparently fixed by replacing famd with gamin

pacman -S gamin

Answer "yes" to replace famd with gamin
