Puppet users - Jan 2007 - bug in logging

Hello...

  After a break, I am back to my integrating puppet project.  While
testing I ran into a bug in puppetmaster.log.  (maybe.  it is possible I
did this myself with a borked config )

  I seems that puppetmaster is re-logging past data. I have noop = true
and set runinterval = 60 to show the bug.  I manually added the "manual
break" lines in between runs.

It looks like the internal log buffer is not cleared after writing the
data to the log file.

Let''s face it, there''s no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
no ''mute rays.'' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense.  I tried it.  Only tinfoil works.

Hmmm, there is no internal log buffer.

That definitely looks like a bug, but I can''t for the life of me  
imagine how it''s happening.

I seem to remember this cropping up before, but I don''t remember if  
it was resolved or what.

If this is consistent for you, please file it as a bug, but... I''m  
very confused.
