[TxMt] CPU eating Textmate/Skim bug

Dear List,
I have a strange bug to report. Using 10.6.3, Textmate and Skim
together (via the LaTeX bundle) seems to trigger a nasty bug in OS X.
As far as I can tell, it is triggered when skim reloads a changed PDF
file, but I haven't been able to completely reliably find out exactly
what triggers it. At first I thought it was to do with the pdfsync
functionality, but then I noticed it could be triggered simply if the
files changed. Whatever is causing it, once triggered any new process
on the machine will use up 100% of the CPU. The only way to get
things back to normal is to log out of the user account and back in
again.
I realise that this is a very sketchy bug report - I'm posting it here
in the hopes that someone else has run into it and has managed to work
out exactly what is causing it better than I have. I'm not even sure
if the fault lies with skim or with textmate or with the latex bundle.
Best wishes,
Nicholas
