Hi, 

On a node running Puppet 2.7.9 from apt.puppetlabs.com, using Ubuntu 
10.04.3 the agent hangs after a few hours of operation. I have to kill -9 
it, nothing else helps. Obviously, this is unfortunate.

Looking at ps -ef I see this:

root      4842  4594  0 Jan04 pts/0    00:00:55 /usr/bin/ruby1.8 
/usr/bin/puppet agent --verbose --no-daemonize --debug
root      9803  4842  0 Jan04 pts/0    00:00:00 [sh] <defunct>

It seems a defunct sh process is responsible. This has happened before on 
that node so I started the agent with the command line arguments you see 
above. Unfortunately the produced debug logs don't look any different from 
the debug logs on a node where I haven't observed this behavior. The logs 
from the last run can be found here, nonetheless: http://pastie.org/3128200

The problem seems to happen regularly on that particular node but I looked 
around other nodes we have running and it seems to happen on a few others 
as well. These nodes don't have anything in common (not even the puppet 
master) but do have a few common modules applied. Could this be caused by 
one of those modules? How would I go about debugging? Or does anyone 
already know what's going on here?

Thanks, 

Andreas
