It's considered a bug, I think.

As I said, I've had no luck with those.
Furthermore, regarding the analysis in your previous mail, I disbelieve
you're seeing this problem. The way I caught puppet redhanded and
checksumming away *was* watching strace and what I saw were massive
reads of the file being checksummed.
So you're onto something else, I guess.
If the recurse is giving you trouble, steer clear of it for the time
being. That would be the most simple workaround.
