    Leave the modification for testing, but to be pedantic, try to restore the
    check once everything else is working.

    my mistake; the hostname is missing, whatever it is:
    
    eval `rancid -C -t zpe <hostname>` >& raw

The raw file is flawless!

This is most frustrating ☹

The raw file shows:

1. the login
2. command 1 being run
3. the command 1 output (in full and as expected)
4. command 2 being run (I've reduced it to just two commands - "show system/about" and "export_settings")
5. the command 2 output (in full and as expected)
6. the exit being issued and successfully exiting
