The only other way I can see making this work is to leave the cvs diff alone, and modify the rancid script itself. This is a PaloAlto device, so it's actually a script called panlong. Here's the section :
> 
> # This routine parses "show system info"
> sub ShowInfo {
>     my($slot);
> 
>     print STDERR "    In ShowInfo:: $_" if ($debug);
> 
>     while (<INPUT>) {
>         tr/\015//d;
>         next if /^\s*$/;
>         last if (/^$prompt/);
> 
>         next if (/^(time:|uptime:)/);
> 
>         ProcessHistory("INFO","","","#$_");
>     }
>     ProcessHistory("INFO","","","#\n");
>     return(0);
> }

correct.
