Coincidentally, I recently tried this (and even loaded/used Expect in
a separate thread). Aolserver crashed hard. I seem to recall that I
tried several different things, including the latest versions of both
Expect and Aolserver, but no luck.
I recall searching around for any info on Expect thread safety, and
someone (Don Libes?) said that they had gotten it (ie, a thread-safe
implementation Expect) close, but never completed the work.
In the end, I aborted and implemented what I needed (a port of legacy
non-Aolserver code originally implemented using Expect) in Aolserver
in a completely different way -- ie, rewrite.
