I wonder are you using RedHat's expect patches? On debian, we
were getting spurious false failures earlier this year which have

bug report...

I did forward that patch upstream to the expect maintainers but I don't
think its in a new release yet.

The Darwin problem is a kernel bug manifesting as unflushed buffers
when a process exits. We have a couple people trying out a fixed
kernel, although my guess is that the fix probably won't appear in
a Software Update, since only a small number of users are hardcore
enough to run dejagnu... :-)
