Hi Douglas, First, can you bottom post? It makes way easier to read (long) threads.

Once done, you'll know if the problem is puppet or ruby itself. And if it turns out to be puppet, please file a bug report with the more information you can, including manifest, versions... > On Sun, Nov 15, 2009 at 12:45 PM, Avi Miller<avi.mil...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Hi Douglas, >> >> Douglas Garstang wrote: >>> Actually, I just noticed that puppetd was using approx 1.5Gb of memory >>> before it barfed.
