Issue #8239 has been updated by John Florian.

I'm consistently experiencing this bug.  I get one more zombie every time 
puppet executes the custom module fact shown below.  This is with 
puppet-2.6.6-1.fc15.noarch and facter-1.6.0-2.fc15.noarch on Fedora 15.  Please 
let me know if I can provide other details.  (This immediately reminded me of 
the problems I saw and reported when I created #2211, but I see that's already 
linked here.)

<pre>
Facter.add("plant_number") do
    begin
        gw = IO.popen("/sbin/ip route show 0.0.0.0/0").read().split()[2]
        if gw
            plant = "%02d" % gw.split(".")[1]
        else
            plant = nil
        end
    end
    setcode do
        plant
    end
end
</pre>

Bug #8239: zombie getconf processes, possibly from facter
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8239

Author: Giles Constant
Status: Investigating
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Adrien Thebo
Category: agent
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.1
Keywords: getconf zombie defunct
Branch: 


I'm seeing this..

     [root@xxxxx001 ~]# pstree |grep getconf
          |-puppetd---574*[getconf]

574 getconf zombies!

    root     32530 17822  0 Jun27 ?        00:00:00 [getconf] <defunct>
    root     32532 17822  0 Jun29 ?        00:00:00 [getconf] <defunct>
    root     32546 17822  0 Jul05 ?        00:00:00 [getconf] <defunct>
    ...etc...


Facter version 1.5.8, Puppet 2.6.6.

I've had a look at the old bug relating to 'timeout' in resolution.rb, but 
setting it to an integer other than 0 didn't make the problem go away.
