Upon authorization using GDM, the accounts-daemon process hangs the login by consuming 100% CPU on a single processor and rapidly consuming all system memory. GDM will not continue with the login until the accounts-daemon process is killed.

I'm using SSSD as the backend authentication module in PAM.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have this problem right now, but not when logging in, but much later (current uptime is almost 4 days).
The accounts-deamon process is currently taking almost 4g of ram (I have 8g), and it also consumed 100% of cpu in one core for several seconds.

Using Xubuntu 12.04 64 bits here (using lightdm).

Forgot to put kernel version... (and i have not messed with PAM).

I seem to have all the issues above where it is a problem at log in and after the system is up:

I am running a Lubuntu installation.
