What is 'tsak' and why is it eating 90-100% of my CPU?

Tim, All,

  I know there were a few tweaks involving tsak to fix the tdm.log explosion
problem. After leaving TDE running overnight, I noticed the fans on my laptop
pegged on. Huh?  Checking top, tsak was eating 90-100% of my CPU.

  What is tsak?

  Why is it pegging the CPU?

  Here is a screenshot of top showing the cpu use:

  Want me to file a bug or you want to look at it first?
