Bug #1440: Puppet + Facter 1.5.0 causing zombies
http://reductivelabs.com/redmine/issues/show/1440

Author: volcane
Status: Needs more information
Priority: High
Assigned to: 
Category: unknown
Target version: 
Keywords: facter
Complexity: Medium
Patch: None
Affected version: 0.24.4


I've monitored all my machines for months for zombie processes and can safely 
say I have never had any zombies on any of my servers.  Since upgrading to 
facter 1.5.0 with puppet 0.24.4 on CentOS 5.2 machines using lutter RPMs I am 
seeing zombies left after puppet runs.

Once I restart puppet they all go away:

% ps auxw|grep defun|wc -l
22

% /etc/init.d/puppet restart
% ps auxw|grep defun|wc -l
0

I've seen this on 5 of my machines now since Friday.  I do not have a way to 
actually trigger it as a means of reproducing the behavior so cannot for 
example downgrade my facter and try to trigger the problem to pin it down to 
just this, but my only change since Friday has been the new release of facter.

I've ran facter many many times by hand and were unable to reproduce by just 
using facter, so I'm guessing it might be something to do with interaction 
between puppet and facter so I made a ticket in the puppet queue.
