I have the same problem : the process memory usage grow until it takes all the available memory.
I disabled bluetooth in the Unity menu and the process still runs and after some hours uses enough memory to prevent me from working with the computer if i do not kill it before.
I don't know if it is linked but when opening "bluetooth parameters" and switching bluetooth disabled it does not stay disabled!
My configuration : Ubuntu 15.04 on a toshiba z10t with 4GB RAM.

Title:
  gradual/exponential increase in memory use of indicator-bluetooth

Status in indicator-bluetooth package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  indicator-bluetooth (0.0.6+14.10.20141006-0ubuntu1) starts
  automatically after boot, and its memory use increases continuously,
  gradually and exponentially, to the point that it reaches the system
  limit. Then it causes overheating and crashes the system requiring a
  reboot only possible forcefully by on/off switch of the computer. When
  I kill the process from system monitor to avoid this happening, it
  starts from zero again (automatically) and restart the gradual
  increase of memory use. Obviously there's a loop, but I couldn't
  figure out or find the reason or how to solve this. I can not remove
  indicator-bluetooth permanently due to package dependencies.

  This started happening after I upgraded from 14.10 to 15.04.

  My computer is Toshiba Portege Z930 with 8 GB memory (which becomes
  used up in app. 30 minutes), Intel® Core™ i7-3687U CPU and Intel®
  Ivybridge Mobile graphics card.

  I'm not an advanced user, so please excuse me if I have surpassed any
  essential step before filing here.
