Puppet users - Dec 2007 - 0.24.0 opening excessive TCP connections

I created ticket 961 "puppetd create too many/not closing TCP 
connections".

I''m wondering if anyone else is seeing this? Depending on the client 
configuration a typical puppetd run will cause hunderds of simultaneous 
TCP connections to be opened
to the puppet master. I''m gettting over 300 established connections for
a
single client in some cases. If the number of open sockets exceeds the 
maximum number of open files limit (see "ulimit -n") then further 
connections fail to open and it  results in the error message:

"warning: Other end went away; restarting connection and retrying"

Colin.

I''ve hopefully now fixed the bug (it''s being tested by someone
now),
and I''ll put a release out tomorrow or the next day once the bug is  
confirmed fixed.
