The original issue that leads to this is the fact that the cache for execresult and execresult_as_data were mixed. This is caused by two separate issues: * The function cache uses the args list as key and discards the function itself. This means different function with the same args are considered identical, and cache is reused. * The args are passed as an Rlist, and the used Rlist comparison ignores the additional items of the longest list when comparing two lists of different lengths, leading to treating execresult and execresult_as_data as identical when using the same command and shell args. This PR only fixes the specific case of execresult, but leaves other function cache issues (e.g. host2ip vs. ip2host could be confused).
