I've just started exploring the Expect language and have quickly hit a

problem.
In an FC3 gnome-terminal, I try to run the following script:
----------------------
#!/usr/bin/expect --
spawn ssh 192.168.0.9
expect "word: "
send "password\r"
expect "]$ "
interact
----------------------
I don't think it's possible to get any simpler than that. It completes
successfully and everything seems to be just fine. Until I attempt to
run a command in the newly spawned ssh session that generates a fair
amount of output such as "ls -la /usr/bin" or cat'ing a larger text
file. The output of such a command starts off like normal but before it
finishes, the output gets "stuck", for lack of a better word. A few
screenfuls of output go by and then it simply stops in it's tracks. The
output jiggles around a bit in the term window but the output doesn't
finish. The cursor seems stuck in place. I can't Ctrl-c out of it
either but rather I have to manually kill it.
Does this seem like a gnome-terminal problem or a script problem?
Thanks!
Ive seen this in VC too, so that rules out gnome-terminal, however
always with SSH, so maybe this is rather an SSH problem.
