Maintaining expect (the broken pipe errors)

Maintaining expect (the broken pipe errors)

[Daniel Santos]

I should probably import this onto my github account.  There doesn't 
appear to be an actual repository for expect at the moment.  There are 
many terrible coding practices employed, potential use of uninitialized 
locals, etc.  I'm going to do some basic cleanup before I dig back into 
trying to find the cause of the child processes unexpectedly terminating 
(while calling an ioctl to change the terminal windows size), which is 
what's causing the broken pipe.

What is the exit code of the process? Could it be somehow mishandled SIGWINCH?

A Cygwin package is available for expect and the repo is on SF at:
	https://sourceforge.net/p/expect/code/
which gives the CVSROOT:
	:pserver:anonymous@expect.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/expect
and links to:
	http://expect.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/expect/

Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

To flog the dead horse a little further,
I posted a question at
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.tcl/urQKjUlQ_Sw
asking why expect hadn't been migrated to the new repo area along with
the rest of tcl...

Accurate, but it's still a bit surprising that expect's
source repo is unlike the rest of tcl's
(i.e. expect is still cvs at sf.net with no git mirror, but
rest of tcl is fossil at tcl.tk with read-only git mirror on github),
hence my question to comp.lang.tcl.  Sorry if I'm being a little pedantic.
