[rancid] RANCID recording the "quit" command

[John Cenile]

Does anyone know how to stop RANCID from tricking itself into thinking a
change has been made?

For example, I get an email every so often (2-3 times a week) saying a
change has been discovered:

Notice how it's sending the command "quit" while the configuration is still
being outputted?

whats a problem with the login script; it is out of sync with the prompts.

I had the same issue with Nexus 5010s running NX-OS v4, and with a circa ~2002 version of rancid. Never did find any root cause, but about a year ago we upgraded rancid and the underlying server (it was also circa 2002), that cleared the problem for us.
