[rancid] Interesting problem, HP procurve 2800s work fine, 2500s config won't download

[Joe McDonagh]

I followed the debug instructions and found that 'write term' is where 
rancid is having a problem. I ran

"hlogin -t 90 -c"show version;show flash;show system-information;show 
module;show stack;write term" 10.5.30.3"

And this is what happens:

...
x699-2520-24-PoE-01# show system-information
Invalid input: system-information
x699-2520-24-PoE-01# show module
Invalid input: module
x699-2520-24-PoE-01# show stack

  Stacking - Stacking Status (This Switch)
   Stack State           : Candidate
   Transmission Interval : 60
   Auto Join             : No

x699-2520-24-PoE-01# write term
...

It just hangs there.
