Thanks for the heads up ... generally we can't do anything about messages in Console. We don't create them ourselves, the OS generates them based on what's going on. Good work finding the source!

Starting today at noon I started seeing lots of the following entries in my 
console. They happened even when I am not actively swapping with witch.

I looked 0x1987 using Quartz Debug and it seemed to be a Skype window. I've 
attached the image from Quartz Debug.

As I mentioned at the start, restarting Skype fixed the problem, but I 
thought i would give you a data point in case it happened for others in the 
future. This is on 10.8.1.
