In this case, it was a custom function that was tripping things up. Looking through the code, I *think* this was the scenario:
1) Fact => trusted['certname'] 2) Function call to parse_host($trusted['certname']) 3) Parse host: host = args.first host.strip! # Here's the offender I also tried seeing if dup'ing the args would work, but it copies the frozen attribute with the String object (which makes sense). So, I don't know if I was trying to modify something from a Fact or if the object just happened to be carrying the 'frozen' status as it went along.
