ATSSERVER KILLED MACBOOK PRO

For days I have been trying to figure out how to get ATSSERVER to stop. It has been pushing the cpu to over 90% every time it starts up. Temperatures over 190. Finally I gave up. I left the MacBook Pro running, and now 22 hours later, it is dead. Does not power on at all, shows no indication of life. I would be guessing, but I figure the cpu is burned. The fans probably couldn't handle running at full speed for so long, and failed, causing the cpu to overheat. Goodbye Apple.

I have had the same problem as all of you with ATSSERVER - the ONLY workaround that allows continued use of Spotlight & searchable PDFs with embedded fonts is to downgrade to 10.5.4. I couldn't find any references on how to uninstall 10.5.5, so I just reinstalled. My MacBook Pro has been working like a dream ever since.

Regarding 10.5.6, I've checked through the release notes and our problem does not look like it has been resolved. I for one won't be installing this update, unless there is positive confirmation it's fixed.
