Issue #7836 has been updated by Joe McDonagh.

Just noticed on both that node, and another one with the corruption, multiple 
copies of puppet agent in memory. I don't have a root cause for that since the 
lock file should stop that from happening.

Bug #7836: YAML corruption in 2.6.7
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7836

Author: Joe McDonagh
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal

Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.7
Keywords: yaml
Branch: 


Hi guys, getting YAML corruption on 2.6.7 at $dayjob:

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could 
not parse YAML data for node something.example.com: syntax error on line 78, 
col 19: `'

I have no idea how to begin to troubleshoot as it is seemingly random and it 
doesn't happen at my other gig which is running 2.6.7, but on a different 
platform. Removing the yaml in question and running the agent again fixes it.

While not fixing whatever the root cause is, what are the implications of 
wrapping the yaml parsing bit of code inside a begin-rescue to try and catch 
this exception, invalidate the data, and try once more before really failing? I 
haven't looked at the code so I don't even know if that's feasible, just 
throwing it out there.
