Wierd errors in imac kernel log...

[zarf2007]

Noticed today that I get these errors constantly generated every couple of seconds:

It is a known issue since the update to 10.7.4 and apparently caused by a conflict with iStat menus or SMCfancontrol.

Now there is a fix for smcFanControl. Just update and the prob is solved
