You may recall my message a while ago to this effect.  I have recently 
made another observation, for which I have no explanation, but offer it as 
merely as an additional data point.

I have been running rancid persistently against this particular ASA ever 
since the above, and it persistently fails in the same way.  However I 
lately upgraded the 7.1(2) to 7.2(3), and immediately afterwards rancid 
was able to connect for the first time since whenever and retrieve the 
config.  Hurrah!  I thought, problem fixed.  Unfortunately, it started to 
fail again about 12 hours later, and that is the way it has remained since 
:(.

FWIW, I am now running rancid.in 1.234 and clogin 1.79.

Jethro.
