Please note that my simplified test case isn't using expect, but the 
standard /usr/bin/sleep.exe -- this is just to have strace run and trace 
for a longer amount of time in order to expose the problem. (it did get 
broken into a new line though, so add a backslash:

I usually disable most services, I can probably disable a few more, but 
I would like if somebody can run the above test case in one terminal 
windows and in the other terminal window do a simple ps -ef and let me 
know if ps responds immediately or has a delay.  I am using Windows 7, 
so it could be isolated to that windows version as well.  When I do 
this, ps has a 3 second delay while in 
fhandler_base_overlapped::wait_overlapped, but I've seen this delay in 
other processes while calling something like "open_shared."

Anyway, I'm going to try to find another simple test case that causes 
more of a drastic delay.

Daniel
