pkd and l_s_d processes in 10.15 Beta 5 using 100% CPU

Updated to 10.15 beta 5 (19A526h) when it came out. Ever since, the pkd and *** processes have been using 100% CPU. Rebooting made no difference. The pkd process appears to be preventing some apps from showing an Open or Save panel. When attempting to show an Open Panel, the application in question just gets the spinning beach ball. If I use Activity Monitor to kill pkd, then the application is immediately able to show the dialog.


Neither of theses processes presented a problem in earlier betas.


As it stands, beta 5 is almost unusable for me whereas I had been using beta 4 and beta 3 for active, daily devleopment.

Huh, apparently the forums sanitize the (L)aunch (S)ervices (D)aemon three-letter abbreviation....
