[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#502193: "the other end went away" puppet warnings are symptoms of a nasty bug

[Robin Sheat]

I have puppet managing a handful of VMs, and see this "other end went away" 
error a lot. As noted in #64, it leaves a lot of CLOSE_WAIT connections lying 
around. Before long, these fill up the connection table make it very difficult 
to SSH into the machine to repair.

My current workaround is a cron job that does a puppet restart daily, this 
obviously isn't an ideal solution.
