This is due to a "feature" in the solaris ptys, namely that they cannot 
handle more than a certain number of bytes (several hundreds) in one 
write.  Other systems also have this issue.  On some systems this can 
be worked around by setting the pty to "raw".  Normally you don't have 
to worry about this, Expect should just work fine even with the test 
failing.  I already have enhanced the test in the latest beta version.

Just go ahead and use it.

Hope this helps,

Roland
