[rancid] Problem with hpuifilter on RHEL6 and glibc-2.12-1.47.el6.x86_64

[Andy Cobaugh]

Hey folks.

We recently saw a problem crop up with hpuifilter on RHEL6 (well, 
Scientific Linux 6.1) when glibc/glibc-common got updated.

We're running RANCID 2.3.6 with git extensions. The problem only happens 
with HP switches, so I'm thinking this is a problem in hpuifilter 
somewhere, but maybe it's in tcl/expect/ssh.

The problem exists with glibc-2.12-1.47.el6.x86_64, but not with 
glibc-2.12-1.25.el6.x86_64, which came from 6.1 FCS. I'm not sure what 
version we were running before the update.

The diff outputs we're seeing look something like this:

-aaa port-access authenticator 8 client-limit 1
-aaa port-access authenticator 9 quiet-period 30
+aaa port-access authenticator 8 client-laaa poaaa port-access authenticator 9 quiet-period 30

-;Image: stamp:    /sw/code/build/cod(cod11) 
+;Image: ^[[24magemage stamp:    /sw/code/build/cod(cod11)

-ip default-gatew.1.1
-sntp sesntp server 128.118.25.3
+ip default-gateway 10.1.1.1
+sntp server 128.118.25.3


It's completely random which switches show this behavior, but all of them 
tend to flip-flop between ok and not ok, and we have enough switches that 
we get an email every time RANCID runs.

I'm not sure where else to look. Open to suggestions.
