What does "Safari: noop" in the console mean?
I am getting a repeating console message under disgnostic and usage messages:
Safari: noop
Does anyone know what this is?

"In computer science, NOP or NOOP (short for No Operation) is an assembly language instruction, sequence of programming language statements, or computer protocol command that effectively does nothing at all."
NOP and noop are synonymous. The statement that "noop does nothing at all", is true and quite misleading. If it does nothing at all, what is it's purpose you might wonder. It may have a perfectly legit reason for running. Use your favorite search engine to search "nop sled is and how it is used in buffer overflow".
Not saying there isn't a valid reason for it on your system.
I'm just saying...
