Public bug reported: A bug in puppet, which was already fixed upstream in 2.7.11, can cause occasional hangs in one-time mode and slow downs in general, caused by a bug in the file lib/puppet/util/instrumentation/listeners/process_name.rb
Upstream bugs describing the problem http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12588 and http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12310 lead to a fix in 2.7.11: The file was simply removed from puppet 2.7.11 as it was only an example for a new API anyway. Unfortunately, the Debian/Ubuntu puppet distribution still contains the file, as patches/debian-changes re-adds the file. I suppose this was simply a small mistake during the merge of the upstream release. The file should be removed from the Debian/Ubuntu puppet distribution to fix the mentioned problems.
