Regular rancid has this at the end of WriteTerm():

    # The ContentEngine lacks a definitive "end of config" marker.  If we
    # know that it is a CE, SAN, or NXOS and we have seen at least 5 lines
    # of write term output, we can be reasonably sure that we got the
config.
    if (($type == "CE" || $type == "SAN" || $type == "NXOS" ) &&
$linecnt > 5) {
        $found_end = 1;
        return(0);
    }


To me that's a more sensible approach - you can't include checks for
markers that do not exist in the output.
