title: PuppetCA not signing Certificate-Requests
body: <p>I'm having a setup with MCollective 1.2.0, Puppet 2.6.4 and an
  provision-agent. Most of the time this works great, but sometimes
  (every 10th node or so) I experience, that signing-requests of puppet-
  agents are not getting signed on the master.
  In this case every request of the puppet agent to the "/production/certificate/..." fails with an HTTP-Error 404.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is also hard to analyze because the logoutput is not very
  detailed.</p>

  <p>... last message repeats endlessly</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have a glue about that?</p>
