Title:
  polkitd service is using all my RAM

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: policykit-1

  I'm using Lucid Lynx!
  After starting my laptop the polkit service is using less than 2MB but using 30% from my both CPU's. Progressively with time passing by the polkitd service is using a lot of memory (up 600MB) until my system bacame unresponsive!
  First I've thought that this memory leak is because of xorg https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/569711 but I've seen that this polkitd is taking all the CPU and RAM!

  As I write the service takes 150MB and with time will arrive at >500MB.
  How to stop, remove, kill, destroy, repair this service?
  Thanks!
