puppetd hanging on some nodes

Hi All,

In my set-up, I've got a cron job that triggers a Puppet run every 20
minutes. I've found that on approximately 13 nodes (out of 166),
puppetd just hangs. I have to go in, kill the process, remove
/var/lib/puppet/state/puppetdlock, and run puppet again and then it's
fine.

After a while, it just hangs again so I have to go in, kill the process,
etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Gonzalo
