rancid hangs due to expect, ssh, or cisco?

The hang is much longer than 45 seconds:

log2% date; clogin -c "sho run" rri2uunet>/dev/null; date
Thu Dec 26 10:02:58 CST 2002
Thu Dec 26 10:13:01 CST 2002

I changed the line to "set timeout 10" in clogin but noticed no difference in
the hang duration.

The lines below added to ACL "ip access-list extended ingress" to make it 181
lines:

 permit esp any host 158.81.250.11
 permit udp any host 158.81.250.11 eq 10000
 permit udp any host 158.81.250.11 eq isakmp

I can email you the whole ACL in private if you wish to see it.

What is even more strange is the fact that I have three edge routers each with
the identical ACLs and adding the three lines to the other two routes did not
affect Rancid's access to them.

ssh or telnet access without clogin presents no problem.  clogin via ssh is
successful all the time on many routers, once a while on some routers, and
never on a few others.
