Thanks for sending this along. I haven't seen this hang yet, but it
seems to be only produced in a very specific case that the original
submitter hasn't specified yet.

On a side note, the bug log led me to
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/server-karmic-puppet-integration
which was interesting, (if somewhat incomprehensible). In particular,
this part made my eyebrows raise:

A lot of this page seems like heresy and anecdotal, and I'm not sure how
the page was generated, but this 'took over' language is curious and I
wonder where it comes from.
