26 - the mega swap

Today my computer alerted me to no more room on the main disk - strange, because there were over 140 GB free. I fired up Activity Monitor to check for disk and memory and lo and behold - something was very very wrong…

Screen Shot 2013-04-12 at 13.36.00No idea what UserEventAgent was doing - I forgot to check for which files it had open but 50GB of virtual memory seems just a bit excessive…

Killing the process returned Swap levels to “normal” 11 GB…

Does anyone have an idea what happened here?
