> Facter 1.6.12-rc2 Highlights
> ======================
> (#10819) Avoid reading from /proc/self/mounts in ruby

>    Reading from /proc/self/mounts in ruby can cause hangs in certain
> versions of
>    the Linux kernel. The problem appears when a puppet agent is run
> with --listen,
>    which hold open a socket, and then ruby reads from
> /proc/self/mounts. When this
>    occurs ruby calls select on the open filehandles which triggers a bug in the
>    kernel that causes the select to hang forever.

>    This commit uses an exec of cat instead of ruby file reading
> operations, which
>    avoids the ruby interpreter having to call select and trigger the bug.

>    It appears that only /proc/self/mounts has this problem. Other
> areas of /proc
>    were tested and did not cause the error.
