Puppet users - Jun 2010 - stack level too deep

I''m getting this on my client:

Jun 14 15:21:26 s_sys@app09.fr.xxx.com puppetd[24751]: Could not
retrieve catalog: stack level too deep on node app09.fr.twofish.com
Jun 14 15:21:26 s_sys@app09.fr.xxx.com puppetd[24751]: Not using cache
on failed catalog

Since running puppetd in debug gives no useful info:

info: Starting handler for Runner
info: Starting server for Puppet version 0.24.8
info: Listening on port 8139
notice: Starting Puppet client version 0.24.8
debug: Loaded state in 0.02 seconds
debug: Retrieved facts in 0.48 seconds
debug: Retrieving catalog
debug: Calling puppetmaster.getconfig
err: Could not retrieve catalog: stack level too deep on node app09.fr.xxx.com
warning: Not using cache on failed catalog

... I started to cut my node manifest down to it''s barest essentials.
This is what I currently have:

---
classes:
  - server_role::baseNode
environment: production
parameters:

and the server_role::baseNode class has this:

class server_role::baseNode {
}

In a word... What the hell? This was previously working and I''m at a
loss as to why including ONE class in my external node manifest is
yielding a stack too deep error.

Doug.

I doubt that this is related to your manifests. Can you run your server
and client with --verbose and --debug so we can see where you end up in
an endless loop?

And add --trace too will help.
