Avahi daemon taking up 100% of the processor.

It seems that there is a bug that makes the avahi-daemon overuse the processor - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/655835. Avahi is a similar thing to Bonjour on the Mac and is for finding other people to chat to, printers to print to etc. http://avahi.org/

To stop it run:

/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon stop
