[rancid] persistent alerts - but nothing was changed ... ?

[Chris Moody]

I see TONS of buggy outputs that cause this same behavior from our Nexus

It's almost entirely due to whitespace changes in outputs.

You'd seriously think that the output of something like show commands 
would be consistent...but I guess that's too hard to do. ;o)
