Ah, my bad, I was confused, I thought the ticket was repackaging my fuse-s3fs
from fedora hosted.  Sorry about that.

And you're correct, I've not made commits to fuse-s3fs for a few years now,
because I only make commits when I need improvements or bug fixes, or when
people file bugs.  Its working fine for me, and I've gotten no bug reports.

If you open a bug on fuse-s3fs with the problem you encountered, I'll gladly fix
it.

I've tried the google code s3fs as well, and not had any luck in fixing it up.
I think thats probably a dead end.
