#1625 closed enhancement

Expect spawn patch is a workaround not a solution — at Version 3

Description (last modified by Jeremy Huntwork)

According to the above bug report, our Expect patch that fixes spurious failures in the GCC testsuite isn't the correct approach. I would be grateful (as I'm sure TCL and Expect upstream would be) if someone could take the time to write a simple Expect script and/or a simple TCL script that tickles the same bug! Good luck :)

Greg Schafer pointed me to this when I asked the same question:

Well, I've tried that test case. I've increased it to 150 lines and it still works as I'd expect (no pun intended!) it to. This is without patching expect at all, and compiling it up against tcl-8.4.11.
