This looks like an upstream bug:  console-kit starts a thread for each
console that can theoretically exist.  On Linux
(/usr/include/linux/vt.h) MAX_NR_CONSOLE is defined to be 63.  console-
kit apparently wants to monitor each of the consoles to see if anyone
ever logs in on these consoles or not.

On my Ubuntu system, I can only see VTs 1-7 enabled.  I have only ever
logged onto VT1 and VT7.  All the remaining threads are useless and are
wasting system resources.
