After a period of time ranging from a few hours to several days, puppetmaster 
begins leaving half open TCP connections in a CLOSE_WAIT state.  It usually 
seems to happen to connections from clients, though at least once I've seen it 
hit the database connection (MySQL).  Here's an example:


<pre>
[r...@lorien ~]# lsof -i | grep 8140
puppetd   13420     root    7u  IPv4 48150014       TCP 
lorien.wpi.edu:52225->lorien.wpi.edu:8140 (ESTABLISHED)
puppetmas 13744   puppet   10u  IPv4 47981997       TCP *:8140 (LISTEN)
puppetmas 13744   puppet  205u  IPv4 48146861       TCP 
lorien.wpi.edu:8140->DELENN.WPI.EDU:63688 (CLOSE_WAIT)
puppetmas 13744   puppet  206u  IPv4 48145681       TCP 
lorien.wpi.edu:8140->IVANOVA.WPI.EDU:54630 (CLOSE_WAIT)
puppetmas 13744   puppet  208u  IPv4 48146636       TCP 
lorien.wpi.edu:8140->DELENN.WPI.EDU:63687 (CLOSE_WAIT)
puppetmas 13744   puppet  210u  IPv4 48146848       TCP 
lorien.wpi.edu:8140->IVANOVA.WPI.EDU:58605 (CLOSE_WAIT)
</pre>

Once puppetmaster starts leaking sockets like this, it seems unable to answer 
any new requests.  In this example, you can see that the puppet client on the 
local machine (lorien) has opened a connection to puppetmaster, but 
puppetmaster has not responded.  None of the log files on either master or 
client show that any progress has been made.

Sending a HUP to the server generates "Restarting" and "Shutting down" messages 
in syslog, but it never restarts.  lsof shows that there are puppetmaster 
processes hanging around keeping the original set of half open sockets open, 
but nothing is listening for new connections anymore:


<pre>
[r...@lorien ~]# lsof -i | grep 8140
puppetmas 13744   puppet  205u  IPv4 48146861       TCP 
lorien.wpi.edu:8140->DELENN.WPI.EDU:63688 (CLOSE_WAIT)
puppetmas 13744   puppet  206u  IPv4 48145681       TCP 
lorien.wpi.edu:8140->IVANOVA.WPI.EDU:54630 (CLOSE_WAIT)
puppetmas 13744   puppet  208u  IPv4 48146636       TCP 
lorien.wpi.edu:8140->DELENN.WPI.EDU:63687 (CLOSE_WAIT)
puppetmas 13744   puppet  210u  IPv4 48146848       TCP 
lorien.wpi.edu:8140->IVANOVA.WPI.EDU:58605 (CLOSE_WAIT)
</pre>

A full restart of puppetmaster appears to be the only way to get things flowing 
again.

This is on 0.24.1 plus the patch from ticket 959.  Let me know what other 
debugging info you'd like me to gather up.
