Good Morning,

what OS and what type of machine is this.
How are you connected (console, xterm, serial line?)

where does it timeout? ( well with timeout -1
expect should sit there and melt into the ground )

could you bolster the expects up a bit:

from
	expect "<phrase>"
to
	expect "<phrase1>" {puts stderr HIT1} timeout {puts stderr TIMEOUT1}
and
	set timeout 5 ;# ie 5 sec.
