[rancid] corrupted bootflash bothering rancid

[John Payne]

Found a router with corrupted bootflash causing rancid to crap out.   
Whilst the rancid failure did draw attention to this, it probably  
should continue backing up and not just crapping out on this router.

 From the log file:

Trying to get all of the configs.

                                                 }

!Flash: bootflash: Directory of bootflash:/
=====================================


running dir /all bootflash:  gave me:
router1#dir /all bootflash:
Directory of bootflash:/

%Error calling getdents for bootflash:/ (Invalid created file header  
name)

32768000 bytes total (24870912 bytes free)


formatting the bootflash allowed rancid to successfully complete.


Should:
         return(-1) if /\%Error calling/;
actually be:
         return(1) if /\%Error calling/;

?

Thanks
