Hi
Recently upgraded to RANCID 3.1 and I'm finding all our Cisco devices are coming up with new configs after every run due to rancid adding line breaks in some cases and in others it joins two lines of the config.

Any thoughts on why this might be going on?  I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.

Thanks


Jason
