[rancid] mtrancid +- connection closed? Conf Diff

[Jason Wu]

Thank you for your response

Yup, these routers are running on version 6.38.7 along side with routers
that do not have this issue.
There does not seem to be any regularity/pattern to this. As the dates are
rather staggered apart. Some days it'll be continuous for a week other
times it'll be a week before re-appearing.

I am unable to reproduce it running mtrancid at the shell.(No email for a
configuration diff). Going through the different SVN diffs gives me

-Connection to <myrouter> closed
============================
+Connection to <myrouter> closed

thanks for your time
