That may tell you where the problem is. Select that line. Click the Sample Process button in the toolbar. If the resulting stack trace doesn't tell you anything, it will probably mean something to the author of the offending program.

I should have been clearer - this is what is so strange about this
bug.  Once it is triggered, any new process starts eating up the CPU,
no matter what it is, and killing it in the task manager doesn't
reduce the CPU load.  That's why I find this bug so odd...
