This shows that the script correctly detected the beginning of the
output from "show running", but not the end. The version of rancid I
have here is still the 2.3 series, and it shows that command is the last
one to be run.

The main loop in the script starts with this:

TOP: while(<INPUT>) {
    tr/\015//d;
    if (/\#\s?exit$/) {
        $clean_run=1;
        last;
    }

So it's looking for the regex "/\#\s?exit$/) to detect end of output.
Perhaps that word exit doesn't appear, or the following EOL is missing?

Either way your true problem is around there somewhere.
