Yes it hangs for me too.

You will probably not find much interest on this mailing
list in problems related to cygtclsh80/expect/DejaGNU
(i.e., the CygWin ports of these).  The response I've
received in the past has been along the lines of:

These were only ported to be able to run the DejaGNU-based
testsuites of the other tools (e.g., gcc, binutils, gdb)
and they work "good enough" for Cygnus to use them for
that purpose.  You're welcome to submit any fixes, but
don't expect any help along the lines of documentation
or answers to questions regarding the ports of these
tools (like how cygwin implements pty's, etc.)

Lots of stuff in the CygWin port of expect doesn't
work.  Like 'timeout', 'interact', etc.

BTW, there is a pointer to another NT port of
expect in the expect FAQ on Don Libes' 'expect' home page,
http://expect.nist.gov.  I haven't looked at it myself,
but would be interested in your experiences if you do.
