usernoted keeps crashing

I've notice that "ReportCrash" is running all the time on Activity Monitor. Reading System.log it turns out that usernoted keeps relaunching and crashing. I've rebooted in recovery mode, fixed permissions and repair disk but still nothing fixed.

I've tried to find out what causes the issue, any idea on how to help?

I have also noticed that clearing Notifications from Notification Center takes about 5 to 7 seconds to clear; which indicate something is wrong but I can't figure out what's causing the crash.

I have a MBP 15" Early 2011 with Mountain Lion 10.8.1

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1), 15" Early 2011

Removing Bark also solved my problem immediately. I was able to use the instructions on the Bark website (http://barkplug.in/about.html) to run the uninstaller .pkg and the crashing and high CPU stopped immediately. I do believe though that this issue may be also related to having entered safe mode (at the request of Apple support for another issue) just prior to this issue showing up and the dydld cache being out of sync.

In a terminal I ran:

open /Library/Application\ Support/Bark/Bark\ Uninstaller.pkg
