Hello,

I face some problems with 'expect' (b20) with the timeout.

The following commands:
 set timeout 1
 expect -re "!!!" {send_user "rrr\n"} timeout {send_user "bbb\n"}
never raises the timeout.

If I try exactly the same commands on my solaris box, it replies "bbb"
after about one second.

Any idea? Thank you.
