It seems like other people have had this issue, and maybe it's when the puppetmaster process restarts in the middle of somebody's agent run?
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3019 https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4808 In your place I would probably do the following: a) turn up the log level a bit on the master and agent b) packet capture on agent->master connections (You have the keys/certs for both ends so you can decrypt the traffic: http://wiki.wireshark.org/SSL) Then when it happens again I would correlate the time in the logs with the packet capture to find the message that discussed the "end of file". Then I would see if the agent actually received an EOF character or similar oddity from the master. If the logs are detailed enough I might be able to track that down to something happening on the master. I tried grepping through my local puppet installation for those error messages but I'm not skilled enough to tell how the things I found are relevant.
