A question of Erdős on equidistribution In his book Metric Number Theory, Glyn Harman mentions the following problem he attributes to Erdős:
Let $f(\alpha)$ be a bounded measurable function with period 1. Is it true that
$$\lim_{N\rightarrow\infty} \frac{1}{\log N} \sum_{n=1}^N \frac{1}{n}f(n\alpha) = \int_0^1 f(x) dx$$
for almost all $\alpha$,
writing "so far as the author is aware, this question remains open."
Harman's book is from 1997. Does anyone know the current status of the problem?
Motivation, for the curious
We lose no generality in assuming $f$ has mean $0$. The rough idea is that for almost all $\alpha$, $n\alpha$ will be equidistributed $(\mod 1)$ in a strong enough way to cause a great deal of cancellation in the sum, so in particular we might guess the sum is $o(\log N)$. It is a weaker version of a more classical conjecture of Khintchine that 
$$\lim_{N\rightarrow\infty} \frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=1}^N f(n\alpha) = \int_0^1 f(x) dx$$
for almost all $\alpha$, where $f$ is as above. This is known to be false. (Of course, if $f$ is continuous it is true, for all irrational $\alpha$ even.)
 A: The statement was shown to be false by J. Bourgain in a paper published in 1988 (Almost Sure Convergence and Bounded Entropy, doi:10.1007/BF02765022). Well before either Harman's 1997 book and the 2003 paper Gjergji mentioned in the comment, which both say that it is an open problem!
From page 2 of Bourgain's paper

As further application of our method, a problem due to A. Bellow and a question raised by P. Erdős are settled.

And, further down (using ${\bf T}={\bf R}/{\bf Z}$),

The problem of Erdős mentioned above deals with weaker versions of the Khintchine problem. In particular he raised the question whether given a measurable subset $A$ of $\bf T$, then for almost all $x$ the set $\lbrace j\in{\bf Z }_+\mid jx\in A\rbrace$ has a logarithmic density, i.e.
  $$
\frac{1}{\log n}\sum_{\substack{j\le n\\\\ jx\in A}}\frac1j\to\vert A\vert.
$$
  We will disprove this fact.

I can't vouch that Bourgain's paper is free of errors, as I have only just found it now and haven't read through it all in detail. However, Bourgain's result is also (very briefly) referred to in this 2004 paper, http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0409001v1, so I assume it is considered to be valid.
