Bug Fix Advisory - RHBA-2004:309-09
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
Updated expect and tcl/tk packages

Updated expect and tcl/tk packages that fix a number of bugs are now available.

Description:
Expect is a tool for automating and testing interactive command line
programs and Tk applications.  Tcl is a portable and widely used
scripting language, while Tk is a graphical toolkit that eases development
of text-based and GUI applications.

Updated expect packages fixed a bug (version 5.38.0 and earlier) in its subprocess code
that caused it to core dump.  This erratum provides an updated
version of expect that fixes this issue and also various other bugs.
This update also fixes a number of bugs found in the original tcl/tk
packages released.

Users of Tcl/Tk and expect should upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.
