    _______________________________________________________

Details:

I have had difficulty making large backups to the s3 backend, possible only
to european buckets (I do not know whether the timing of the problem is a
co-incidence or not).

After finally triggering this with proper error reporting, I see:

" failed (attempt #64, reason: CannotSendRequest: )"

The CannotSendRequest exception comes from Python's httplib (unfortunately
constructed without additional details). It does this if the connection is not
internally considered to be in IDLE state.

The s3 backend re-uses an S3Connection. This is fine, but the above is
probably an underlying problem with boto.

I'll try to investigate whether I can see what's going on in S3, and
otherwise confirm that not re-using the S3Connection fixes this. For now, I
wanted to file the problem.
