Sounds like the same setup here. We''re in the middle of transitioning,
masters are .25.5 and clients .24.8. Wasn''t able to reproduce, and a
very low occurrence rate. I only see one failure in the past ~6 hours.
Maybe a dozen for the entire day. And that''s at ~1400 puppetruns/hr.

Nigel,
Doesnt look like an issue with Concat define. This is a straight File
resource here:

file {
	"/etc/mail":
		owner => "root", mode => 0755, group => "root",
ensure => directory;
}
