Puppet users - Apr 2008 - Puppet should not crash on connection timeout

Our puppet crashes on about 10% of the hosts every day.
I started one client in debug node and here''s what i got:

debug: Loaded state in 0.03 seconds
debug: Retrieved facts in 0.80 seconds
debug: Calling puppetmaster.freshness
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:54:in `timeout'': execution expired

Please change the code so it would handle all connectivity/session
exceptions properly and would not crash/die.
At least let it abort and retry again later if such an error happened.

This has been fixed for a while in Puppet, I believe.  I assume you''re
using 0.23, at the latest.

And this is an open source project that comes with no warranty or  
promises.  If you want something resembling a warranty, then you need  
to buy a support contract.  Otherwise, bugs are fixed as deemed  
appropriate by the community who does the fixing.
