> If there is a default, will the timeout action ever occure?

It looks like default and timeout are synonyms.

  # dejagnu/lib/remote.exp
  # proc remote_expect
  if { ${x} == "eof" } {
      set save_next 1;
  } elseif { ${x} == "default" || ${x} == "timeout" } {
      if { $error_sect == "" } {
          set save_next 1;
      }
  }

All I know is what I see in the source.  I don't know why.
