Title: MacMiner apiaccess Process Spawning Issue in Mavericks

Mods: Once I had permission, I posted this in the MacMiner thread—this thread can be deleted.

Long time lurker, first time poster, etc. An issue with MacMiner in Mavericks prompted me to register. I'm posting this here instead of the MacMiner thread as per newbie restrictions/instructions.

I'm running MacMiner 4.16 (build 1416) in Mavericks (10.9). After 20-30 minutes of use using the FPGA/ASIC window to  run USB Block Erupters, MacMiner starts spawning "apiaccess" processes one after the other ever few seconds. Those processes build up until I run into the default process limitation on my machine (currently 709). That means I have roughly 500 of these apiaccess processes running.

They're persistent until I quit MacMiner.

I have rebooted several times, and I also trashed my MacMiner .plist and the MacMiner folder in User>Library>Application Support. After doing so, I rebooted and then reinstalled MacMiner. The behavior resumed, the same as before.

Has anyone seen this?
