After having some problems on one machine with bbackupd failing, I
finally took the time to pinpoint the cause ... this is what I kept getting:

Sep 17 01:41:56 collector bbackupd[25039]: Beginning scan of local files
Sep 17 01:41:56 collector bbackupd[25039]: Opening connection to server
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
Sep 17 01:41:56 collector bbackupd[25039]: Connection made, login successful
Sep 17 02:10:05 collector bbackupd[25039]: Exception caught (7/47),
reset state and waiting to retry...
Sep 17 02:11:45 collector bbackupd[25039]: File statistics: total file
size uploaded 935578298, bytes already on server 0, encoded size 936073016

Turns out I had a file to be stored with size 935578298 bytes ... is
there any general limit that might cause this, or do I need to try to
find the cause of this with some additional debugging?
