[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#509566: Puppet: setting timeout to 0 causes puppet to try requesting a certificate infinitely often

thanks

Besides having autosign disabled on the master or not having network at
all, the problem can be manifested with installing the package on a
random on a random network.

Let me repeat this: executing
	apt-get install puppet
on *any* random system, without any prior configuration in the host or
the network (i.e. *anywhere*) will result in an 100% CPU usage spike and
a flood of the syslog.

This is clearly unsuitable for the release.

I'm marking it RC and waiting for your answer soon or I'll perform a
non-DELAYED NMU, since we are at a critical time for release.

Thanks,
Faidon
