Are you running the Messages beta?
The same happened (for the first time) to me today - my solution was simply to uninstall iMessage beta and reinstall iChat again. This issue is being reported in many different threads, so it must be something that needs to be resolved by Apple before launching Mountain Lion.
I ran " sudo mdutil -E / ", and rebooted. cleared up a lot of messages from respawning.
imagent is eating up all my ram within a minute
