Logwatch problem?

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings all;

Fedora 10 install, pretty well upto date, quad core phenom 9550, 4GB ram, 
kernel 2.6.30-rc2.  Uptime is about 6 days.

I noticed my machine was lagging badly, so I took a look with htop, and

/usr/bin/perl /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/shared/onlyservice init

is using 99% of a core (4 core machine) and /dev/sda3 is showing about a 
15Meg/sec continuous read operation.  This has been going on for at least an 
hour.

What is it doing?

And why?

Thanks.
