Title:
  upstart (session) consumes almost 3GB of memory after 24 hours of
  uptime

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Running utopic with the ubuntu-desktop-next metapackage installed I
  see that media-hub-server is crashing many times per second (bug
  1321203). Whatever is actually causing that the session upstart daemon
  now consumes about 3GB of memory after running like that for about one
  day.
