Puppet users - Nov 2009 - puppetd 0.24.7-r1 has lots of close_wait connections

Hi folks

I know that has, to some degree, been run over the past year in different  
ways, but, I may have yet another instance of an issue on this.

The puppetmaster system and the puppet system are both running 0.24.7-r1,  
on a gentoo system. Other puppet systems are running 0.24.4.

The puppet system (not the puppetmaster system) that is running 0.24.7-r1  
is showing multiple close_wait connections. The others are not.

File changes are not affected; nothing appears to be stopping puppet from  
working, it is just that the 0.24.7-r1 client appears to be leaving  
connections unclosed.

As other folks have noted, they don''t continually accumulate - they
just
appear (in my case, as soon as I have started puppetd), and then puppet  
seems to run its catalog with no errors, updating files and all that fun  
stuff. Just disturbing to see all the unclosed connections on the client,  
to see them immediately disappear on stopping puppetd, and to see them  
immediately re-appear as soon as puppetd is started again.

I think I can upgrade to 0.24.8-r1, but, am hesitant to do that if it  
doesn''t fix the issue, or if it introduces all new issues. Any advice
will
be most appreciated.

Thanks!

This is almost certainly:

It is fixed in 0.24.8 but I''d also recommend moving toward 0.25.1
rather than staying with the 0.24.x branch.
