| I just saw the same spindump process, in Activity Monitor, after I used a utility ("Pause", part of the "Toolbar Extras" suite) to pause the activity of the Safari process, since Safari keeps exhibiting those wonderful complete stalls on my Mac, several times a day, and I wanted to just halt it rather than quit from it altogether since I have several windows open in Safari I'd rather not lose, or have to tediously bookmark. As soon as I paused Safari (an option that would be nice to have in Activity Monitor), spindump appeared in the list of processes, and disappeared after about a half-minute or so, same as your experience time-wise. So, you don't have to outright force-quit a process to get spindump to start up. Hope that helps to some degree. |
