As Jay mentioned, if you disable a plugin but do NOT remove resources 
from inventory whose types come from that plugin, the agent will go into 
an infinite "availability scan" loop, constantly performing avail scans 
within seconds of each other.

Workaround is as Jay said - re-enable the plugin or remove the resources 
from inventory that are no longer supported (since the plugins are now 
disabled).

There is already a BZ for this - see:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=647930

This probably should be put in the cumulative branch.
