Puppet users - Jan 2010 - err: Could not call list: header too long

Getting this error:
err: Could not call list: header too long
when running puppetca commands on master.

There is not a disk space issue.

On the puppet master server, /var filled up to 100% during the night.
Now it''s fine, down to 25% used.
I rebooted server too

Any fixes?

Yeah, I fixed it!

I removed some 0 byte certificate request files in dir /var/puppet/ssl/
ca/requests.
That did the trick.

For what it is worth, I also was running into same error, and removed a 
zero byte cert file and the problem went away.

Only in my case, the zero byte file was in /var/puppet/ssl/ca/signed

Thanks, Jason!
