Hi all,

I had written earlier about an issue with starcluster never returning after starting some instances - this is still the case; I never see starcluster come back to the prompt. It looks to be trying to connect ad infinitum. However, it does appear that the instances get launched and I can connect to them.

So I began customizing the instance and went to create an image from it using create_image.py. Here's what happens.
(note that I had to set a couple environment variables, EC2_CERT and EC2_PRIVATE_KEY)
