There are 71 entries which are regular system entries in initctl list.
All others look like "network-interface-security (network-interface/vethc425e55) start/running" and there were ~7400 such entries.

The upstart tests are also allocating memory which is only getting
released when the tests exit.

Title:
  possible leak in upstart 1.5

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Description:    Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
  Release:        12.04
  Package:    1.5-0ubuntu7.2
  Kernel:      Linux XXX 3.8.0-23-generic #34~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 29 21:12:31 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  We're starting lxc containers on demand, so there's lots and lots of
  network interfaces going up and down. Udev emits signal, that goes to
  upstart-udev-bridge, and next to the upstart itself. After about 40K
  containers created/destroyed, upstart takes about 250MB or RAM, and it
  grows with every event received/send. Not only RAM is beeing used, but
  also init spends more time for every new event on the socket.

  What happens:
  init uses more RAM and more CPU during lifetime, when lots of network interfaces are beeing created/destroyed

  What is expected:
  init work should not change depending on number of events served
