Earlier today I ran into a rather unsettling issue with my dev Salt setup consisting of 1 master and 4 slaves.

I was semi-randomly pushing commands to all slaves using cmd.run_all, but all of a sudden no further execution was being done.
The output the master got was just {} like it was a massive network interruption.

Nothing in the logs and it was resolved after restarting the server and minions.

However, I haven't been able to reproduce this since.
Did the exact same things and everything was still working.

I should probably see if I can cause it again somehow, since this would mean the whole platform will be unmanageable which can become quite a problem :)

It happened in the latest Git revision (61fbb3458543697aee6c3fd925b368dbde9bf1dc) on Ubuntu 11.10 x64.
