console-kit-daemon using too much memory

[qman]

On Ubuntu Server 9.04 x64 Jaunty, console-kit-daemon is using over 750MB of memory, 38% of the available 2GB. There is no obvious reason for this, the system in question is a router which sees little user activity.

The basic software set being used: DHCP3, BIND9, squid, iptables, vnstat, apache/php/mysql (for vnstat-php), sshd

Here's all the relevant information I can think of:

$ ps aux
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
...
root 3018 0.7 38.8 860776 776292 ? Ssl Jun12 899:42 /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon
...

$ uptime
02:52:03 up 83 days, 6:22, 2 users, load average: 0.03, 0.06, 0.01
