[rancid] Re: couldn't compile regular expression pattern: parentheses() not balanced

I don't know why but I had a duplicate rancid directory located @
/usr/local/rancid once I removed this directory HP switches were working
perfectly. Eh go figure J

parentheses() not balanced

Rancid 2.3.3 expect 5.43

When rancid runs I am unable to collect data from HP switches via hlogin
I get an error in the log file.

When I manually run hlogin -c 'show run' HP5308-B6-1 I get a device
timeout.

If I run hlogin HP5308-B6-1 rancid logins successfully. 

I have tried this on another HP 5406 switch with the same issues.

-bash-3.2$ hlogin HP5308-B6-1

hp5308-b6-1

spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l rancid hp5308-b6-1
