I posted a chunk of my ShowVersion sub, which had an extra bit which might 
cause you an issue.  Current francid has this one, modified with the 
change just discussed.  Simply replace your current ShowVersion sub with 
this one following.

Jethro.


# This routine parses "show version"
sub ShowVersion {
    my($slot);

    print STDERR "    In ShowVersion: $_" if ($debug);

    while (<INPUT>) {
        tr/\015//d;
        next if /^\s*$/;
        last if (/^$prompt/);

        next if (/^(The system |Crash time)/);
        next if (/^(System|(Active|Standby) Management|LP Slot \d+) uptime is/);
        # remove uptime on newer switches
        s/(STACKID \d+)\s+system uptime is.*$/$1/;

        s/^\s*(HW|SW)/$1/;
        s/^\s*(Compiled on)/SW: $1/;
        s/^\s*(\(\d+ bytes\) from )/SW: $1/;

        #s/^(HW.*)/$1\n/;
        if (/^SL (\d+)/) {
            $slot = "Slot $1";
            s/^SL \d+/$slot/;
        }
        if (/MHz .* processor/) {
            $slot = "MGMT";
        }
        s/^(\s*\d+ )/$slot:$1/;
        s/^===*//;

        ProcessHistory("VERSION","","","!$_");
    }
    ProcessHistory("VERSION","","","!\n");
    return(0);
}
