This means that the program(or script) never returns.

After spawn telnet is finished (either because connection was refused or
because connection is closed) and there is no more experssions in the script, expect
doesn't exit and cannot be terminated
from the keybord (SIGINTR/SIGQUIT). I have to make another session and
kill it.


I have some basic experience with expect and never seen such behaviour.
