For good measure, you might also want to look in the archives for a message with subject, "Re: amrecover failure [RESOLVED]", on April 26th, 2012. Both sets of emails, bugs, and fixes apply to 3.3.1 stable, which apparently isn't all that stable. I sincerely hope they'll push out a 3.3.2, with the patches applied for these known, show-stopper, bugs. Best of luck.

Does anyone have instructions on how to fix or workaround this issue? I'm using 3.3.1 built from source on an update to date Amazon Linux install.
