Puppet users - Jul 2010 - How do I get a node to forget its state?

I had a bad manifest at one point which told puppetd to --recurse on a
massive directory that I didn''t actually want it to manage.  I reverted
the
config.  Ever since then however, the nodes that once applied that --recurse
take a much longer time to update themselves.

What I see is this:

debug: Storing state
debug: Stored state in 59.66 seconds

On a fresh node this takes less than five seconds.  While "Storing
state" is
running the puppetd Ruby process is at 100% CPU.

Is there any way I can get the affected nodes to forget about that old
config?  Or is there any way I can get more information about what state is
being stored to make sure this is the issue?

Ubuntu 9.10/
puppetd --version =>  0.24.8

thanks!
hernan

Try this: (I don''t think I have any typos, but don''t be too
surprised if I have)
service puppet stop
#Remove the old puppet state
mv /var/lib/puppet /root/
mkdir /var/lib/puppet
#Put the certificates back
cp -a /root/puppet/ssl /var/lib/puppet/

#Now test it
puppetd --test --verbose --debug

#If it works, turn puppet back on
service puppet start
