I have the same problem on centos 5 boxes, x86_64 as well i386, all
running in xenguests and 0.24.4 (as well the guests). I deploy a cron on
puppetmasters to restart puppetmaster every 4 hours. Just to be on the
safe side. As well I'm having some big problems with certain modules and
use cases [1]. However currently I simply get problems like these
working with workarounds. :-/

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND

 6562 root      15   0  183m  96m 2260 S    0 32.2   6:35.53 puppetd

on a host with 300mb ram.

I couldn't yet figure out what is causing this problem, but it certainly
exists. Unfortunately I don't know yet a lot how to debug problems like
these and I'm hoping that problems like these might go away with the
switch away from xmlrpc, as I could see a lot of memory problems there.
but now i'm just guessing.

however I certainly don't have anymore any corrupted file due to memory
leaks! :)

if anybody would like to dig into this problem and would like to have
data from hosts i'm having access to it, please ping me on irc
(duritong). I'd really like to help on this problem.

greets pete
