Issue #3581 has been updated by Daniel Pittman.

Status changed from In Topic Branch Pending Review to Code Insufficient

This is a larger issue - anywhere that uses `fork` in the code can trigger it, 
and tagmail just happens to be the biggest offender.

There is the start of a discussion here about how best to handle this: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/puppet-dev/M32pl_Jxgw4

If anyone here has a strong view on that, please let us know, but regardless of 
what that works out I will shortly fix the problem so that not only tagmail, 
but all current uses of fork in the product are safe.

I have marked this "code insufficient" because the change solves the tagmail 
issue, but doesn't get to the roots of the problem, and because that is 
significant enough I want to make sure we go there.

Hello all, 

got a strange issue with puppet 0.25.4, tagmail and postgresql connections. 
Having the following setup running - 
puppet0.25.4 and foreman. As DB backend works a PostgreSQL database. We are 
managing aprox. 50 Clients. OS is only SLES10SP2. Now, when running puppet i 
got after some minutes the following error: err: PGError: server closed the 
connection unexpectedly. This only happens when reports is set to tagmail. It 
seems that puppet tries to open a connection but then stalls.
