[rancid] RANCID no longer working with MikroTik RouterOS 6.49 and 7.1rc3 and 7.1rc4

[Michael Ducharme]

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know - on the MikroTik forum I am seeing reports
that RANCID is no longer working to back up RouterOS versions 6.49 and
7.1rc3 and 7.1rc4. The commands still run and there were no documented
changes to the console or SSH on the MikroTik side recently, so I'm not
sure why this is happening suddenly. I was trying to go through the code to
see what the problem might be, but could not find anything.

Please see this post for details on the error:
https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?p=885246#p885246

I also tried loading up the output of the working 6.48.4 vs non-working
6.49 into a hex editor to see if there were any unexpected characters being
added that might be confusing RANCID but did not find anything of note. It
looks pretty much the same to me.
