Runaway JAMF process is killing my disk

Not applicable

I just rebooted my machine with the hopes of clearing out some crufty
processes. When the machine came back up, it was running even worse than
before. A little digging revealed that com.jamfsoftware.task.monitorUsage
is stuck in some kind of loop, causing a constant read/write of 10+ MB/s
from the disk.

There is an updated Adobe Unit Types 2.1.0 scripting addition for CS3/CS4 that is 64-bit compatible. Unfortunately it's an Adobe KB article that has the download link, not in the "Updates". Not having this 64-bit scripting addition causes recon to fail and thus the log files growing...
