Bug #2701: Memory Leak in Puppet state

Branch:
I have a puppet daemon running tidy to clean up a very busy directory (cleans
several thousand files each week). Using a tidy object:
tidy { "/tps/reports":
age => 1d,
recurse => true,
rmdirs => true,
loglevel => info,
type => mtime,
}
The tidy works well, but every file gets recorded into state.yaml, even the
ones that were removed several months ago. When Puppet reads in this yaml file
it gets progressively bigger which consumes a significant chunk of memory on
the host (I just killed a Puppet daemon with approx 900Mb resident,
for example - this had been running approx. 2 weeks)
My workaround for now is that I wipe the state.yaml file and restart puppet
periodically - usually every couple of weeks or so... Another workaround I have
is to run the attached script periodically and restart puppet. The script culls
all references to Tidy objects from the database - preserving the rest of the
state database.
