[ec2] AWS problem or bad Canonical ami?

[Peter Wolanin]

In fact, the same happens with a freshly-created keypair also.  I am
using the current ec2-api-tools-1.3-36506

$ ec2-add-keypair ec2-keypair > ec2-keypair.pem

$ chmod 600 ec2-keypair.pem

$ ec2-run-instances ami-5d59be34 -k ec2-keypair

$ ec2-describe-instances i-cdf9dba4
