Here's the problem, and an easy fix that I'm requesting to be
incorporated in future releases of rancid.

The "IOS" line from show version output on a 7609:

IOS (tm) s72033_rp Software (s72033_rp-ADVIPSERVICESK9_WAN-M), Version 12.2(18)SXE4, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

Note the underscores in (s72033_rp-ADVIPSERVICESK9_WAN-M).

Here's the regex in Sub ShowVersion in bin/rancid:

        /^(Cisco )?IOS .* Software,? \(([A-Za-z-0-9]*)\), .*Version\s+(.*)$/ &&
            ProcessHistory("COMMENTS","keysort","F1",

Just need to add an underscore to the character set match:

        /^(Cisco )?IOS .* Software,? \(([A-Za-z-0-9_]*)\), .*Version\s+(.*)$/ &&
            ProcessHistory("COMMENTS","keysort","F1",

Now I get the correct Image: line in our 6500 and 7600 rancid configs:

!Image: Software: s72033_rp-ADVIPSERVICESK9_WAN-M, 12.2(18)SXE4, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)
