[rancid] problems with diffs!

Hello All,
 
I am using rancid for a couple of days now, I think that it is so powerful
but I have noticed that sometimes diffs are fake?!
 
For example:
 
Index: configs/192.168.0.1
===================================================================
Retrieving revision 1.2
Diff -u -4 -r1.2 192.168.0.1

+ !VLAN:          ^
  !
  Config-register 0xF
  Version 12.2
  No service pad
 
I understand that rancid assumed that there is a difference in the line
because the number of spaces has changed? But this didn't indicate a
difference in the configuration?
 
It also happens with "show vlan". I always receive a mail indicating that
there is a difference in the configuration where in fact I find that it is
just that the lines has changed somehow?
 
Is there a way I could fix this issue?
 
Regards,
Abdelrahman
