locationd keeps crashing every 3 seconds
I tried:
- rebooting in recovery mode and repair disk permissions
- disabling location services
And I keep getting the following error messages in the console (eating up a lot of CPU cycles):

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.locationd.plistIs there a fix to this, instead of this workaround?
