Issue #12202 has been updated by Banio Carpenter.

I did not restart the server, I just restarted puppet agent after I found it 
wasn't working.  It has run fine since then (about 4 days).  The servers are 
currently swapping right now.  This is not normally the case.

# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          1740       1684         55          0         18        275
-/+ buffers/cache:       1390        349
Swap:          895        455        440


But I can still run puppetd -t without issue, and puppet agent is working fine. 
 Do you think that if the server was swapping heavily and puppet tried to run 
it would fail, and then continue to fail on all subsequent runs even if the 
server stopped swapping?
