[rancid] missed cmd issues - "wr term"

[David B. Stewart]

I've seen several reports by others having this same problem, but have yet to find a report of cause and resolution.
RANCID was working fine for weeks, then started dropping "wr term" from the runs in an apparently random, though
semi-permanent, fashion.  Once this problem hits, it doesn't seem to go away.  The nodes in question are Cisco IOS.

My suspicion is that it is resource problem on the rancid server.  Suspicions don't count for much, though.  Can someone
shed some light on the issue?

Sample log is shown below.  Notice that in this case, the 10.y.z.20 seems to run OK, but the first two fail.  They fail
consistently from the scheduled runs.  Manual clogin runs to the specific nodes have no apparent problem.
Unfortunately, I know of no way to get the manual run to do the full diff and CVS archive.
