This is most likely either the pager or some out-of-band like logs being
written to the vty while the config is being collected.  fnlogin should
be disabling the pager; verify that your aaa configuration is allowing
it to do so.

vyos is not supported by rancid and i've never used it, but it is probably
the same cause.  For the cisco too, and that is almost definitely your aaa
not allowing it to disable the pager; but there are a few cisco platforms
that have no way to disable the pager.
