(Brain gets out of first gear...)  Yes, if I zap the expect built from 
the CVS repository I'm going to get the expect in progressive

(For those wondering what progressive is, it is a Red Hat standardized 
tested/built version of GCC+BINUTILS+GDB+...)

I think it means that expect has a poorly defined regex syntax and now 
it is changing under our feet.  Once a an expression is defined it 
should just keep working.
