[rancid] RANCID, CRS and SDR

[Tyler J. Wagner]

Jens,

I have the same problem with one of my Cisco Catalyst 6509, when querying
via telnet. It removes and adds hardware seemingly at whim. However, the
same behaviour is visible when testing with clogin myself - it seems to be
the real output.

I'd prefer to fix it, or have RANCID ignore it. Right now, I have neither
solution.
