Comment 85 for bug 269651

I think this problem might not be resolved quite yet, as I can reproduce it, and I have the patched version of consolekit (0.2.10-1ubuntu9) installed. It doesn't happen right away upon boot, but it only takes a few minutes of running the system under load (8 kvm processes; 8 cpus), before console-kit-daemon segfaults. From then on (until the system is next rebooted), logging in on the console as root and then logging out again causes console-kit-daemon to segfault, and that console does not then display a login prompt.

The system in question:
