Cannot login after consolekit update

After the recent update of consolekit from 0.3.1-1 to 0.4.1-1 I cannot login anymore in kdm. The screen gets black for some seconds and then I'm back in kdm again. The /var/log/errors.log shows this:

Nov  2 20:30:27 waltraud kdm: :0[3041]: Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 0
Nov  2 20:30:27 waltraud kdm: :0[3041]: Client start failed
Nov  2 20:30:27 waltraud kdm: :0[3041]: Cannot close ConsoleKit session: Unable to close session: no session open

It looks like consolekit isn't running at all (or not properly). After downgrading to 0.3.1 again everything works fine.

[Edit]I just discovered this new error message in dmesg:

console-kit-dae[2877]: segfault at 18 ip 000000000040c609 sp 00007fff6167a490 error 4 in console-kit-daemon[400000+20000]
