[rancid] Re: Problems with Dell Extension

[Jeremy Singletary]

What happens if you run dlogin from the command line with a switch
command that will produce more than a page of output?  Try dlogin with
the show running-config command (assuming there's more than one page of
ocnfig), and let me know if it hangs.
