Puppet users - Aug 2008 - ruby / factor issue - no help on google. Stack too deep?

Anyone seen this before?  I have 10 RH El4 systems and this occurs on
2 of them when installing a new version of puppet and ruby/ruby-libs.
Most of them are X86_64 and I am using the 32 bit ruby/libs/factor/
puppet install on all with rpms and yet on two systems I get this..

confused ????

puppetd --server xyzzy--test --waitforcert 30

Could not load /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/facter/memory.rb: stack level
too deep
/usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/facter.rb:541:in `initialize'': stack level too
deep (SystemStackError)

        from /usr/sbin/puppetd:164:in `require''
        from /usr/sbin/puppetd:164

and rpm''s are:

ruby-libs-1.8.6-1.el4
ruby-1.8.6-1.el4
facter-1.3.8-1.el4
puppet-0.24.5-1.el4

I guess I could try building from source, but it is strange that 8 of
10 work...

thanks
