Ugh.  I spent the last hour trying to think up solutions with SIGCHLD handlers, 
select, and other fun.  Unfortunately, one problem I don't think we can avoid 
is that even if we manage to prevent the indefinite blocking read, as soon as 
we close the read end of the pipe and the misbehaved daemon tries to write 
anything to stdout (the write end), it will get a SIGPIPE (and probably get 
terminated as a result).

Bug #3013: util.rb:execute broken on Ruby <1.8.3
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/3013

Author: Ricky Zhou
Status: Ready for Testing
Priority: Urgent
Assigned to: Markus Roberts
Category: exec
Target version: 0.25.3
Affected version: 0.25.2
Keywords: 
Branch: http://github.com/MarkusQ/puppet/tree/ticket/0.25.x/3013


Apparently the patch in ticket #2731 introduced one more issue by using 
readpartial, which isn't available until ruby 1.8.3 (RHEL4 at least is 
affected).  I'm not sure how this is normally handled in ruby, but if the 
readpartial function is not available, the code should fall back to sysread 
(along with some code for handling EINTR).

Anybody with better ruby knowledge know how this should be done?
