Public bug reported:

Through inspection and as part of bug 1168507, there are a few places
where the mysqldump plugin is not careful about closing files.

* when file-per-database = off
* during the backup_data/MANIFEST.txt generation

These need to be wrapped in a try ... finally block, particularly since
these files are typically pipes to gzip (or some other compression
command), and the process may never be checked/collected.

Since we're still basing 1.0.X on python2.4 (at least), we can't use the
more convenient context managers for this, so cumbersome try ... finally
is the current solution here.
