Issue #10418 has been updated by Jason Smith.

I don't know about anyone else, but I have not seen this problem in any of the 
RHEL6 kernels, neither 6.1 nor 6.2.  Note, the RHEL6 kernel (based on 2.6.32) 
is completely different than the rhel5 one (based on 2.6.18).  As Peter said, 
for the RHEL5 kernels, the bugzilla ticket says that RedHat has verified that 
they have fixed it in their 2.6.18-299 kernel, so I would assume any RHEL5 
kernel version greater than that would have the fix.  Hopefully this is almost 
done going through RedHat's QA and will be released soon, either in a RHEL5.7 
errata or possibly the soon to be released 5.8.

Bug #10418: Puppet agent hangs when listen is true and reading from /proc 
filesystem on redhat
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10418

Mon Oct 31 23:03:31 +0000 2011 Puppet (notice): Caught TERM; calling stop

Ever since the 2.6.12 upgrade I've been seeing these reports reach us. As in, 
about a hundred of a half thou machines. Most of the time we find that 
$vardir/state/puppetdlock is in place and blocking further puppet runs, which 
requires a manual resolution.

I wrote a quick cron script to look for puppetdlock files older than one hour, 
remove them and mail me a report and I've received several dozen in the last 
few hours. Something is clearly broken in 2.6.12, we are backgrading our 
systems to 2.6.11.

No-- I have no other information than that it crosses all of our machine types, 
and we have had no significant changes in our modules in this time period.  
Many of the machines which have failed have had zero module or manifest changes 
which would apply to them.  I cannot get this to replicate on the command line.
