    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response This is caused by a known problem in the version of Expect that was
    included with VSC 5.1.3. It has been fixed in the newer version
    included with VSC 5.2.3 but some users are experiencing problems with
    the newer version and have reverted to using the old version.

    First we need to confirm that the submitter is using the old version of
    Expect. If so, then either a TSD can be issued for the failure or the
    submitter could be asked to fix the Expect source. It is a simple fix:

    Change line 1504 of Src/Interact/expect/expect.c from:

    if (i_read_errno == EIO) {
    to:
    if (i_read_errno == EIO || i_read_errno == EINVAL) {

    (Users are permitted to make changes to the sources for Tcl and
    Expect to resolve portability issues on their systems.)

    Review Conclusion This is caused by a known problem in the version of Expect that was
    included with VSC 5.1.3. It has been fixed in the newer version
    included with VSC 5.2.3 but some users are experiencing problems with
    the newer version and have reverted to using the old version (which is
    the case here).

    We have confirmed that the
    submitter is using the old version of Expect. Since this part of the
    test suite can be changed, the following work around should be used:

    Change line 1504 of Src/Interact/expect/expect.c from:

    if (i_read_errno == EIO) {
    to:
    if (i_read_errno == EIO || i_read_errno == EINVAL) {

    (Users are permitted to make changes to the sources for Tcl and
    Expect to resolve portability issues on their systems.)

    This PR is therefore rejected at this point as a TSD.
