lockups spawning simple vbexpress program with tcl8.4 and expect 5.43

Hi folks,
I am having a problem running console program written in VBExpress.
(and VCExpress, etc.)
I am running tcl/tk v 8.4 and expect v. 5.43 on my windows xp pro box.
Here is a minimal program to spawn a task, count the lines output, and exit.
----------------------
package require Expect
console show
set timeout 5
set linecount 0
exp_spawn "cmd.exe"
sleep 2
send "dir\r"
expect {
"\n" {incr linecount 1; exp_continue}
timeout {send_user "timeout.\n"}
}
send_user "$linecount lines\n"
sleep 10
exp_close
exit
------------------------
It works fine when spawning cmd.exe and sending it the dir command.
But if I write a short console application in Visual Basic Express
(HelloConsole.vb):
------------------------------
Module HelloConsole
Sub Main()
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!")
End Sub
End Module
---------------------------------------
And modify the program to spawn the exe file:
----------------------
package require Expect
console show
set timeout 10
set linecount 0
exp_spawn "HelloConsole.exe"
expect {
"\n" {incr linecount 1; exp_continue}
timeout {send_user "timeout.\n"}
}
send_user "$linecount lines\n";
sleep 10
exp_close
exit
------------------------
If I execute from command line with default association, (wish84)
I get copies of wish84.exe in my processes list of the task manager,
and when I log out, I get the shutdown messages (one for each time
I tried to start the program)
Ending Program - MenuWindow
with the "end now" button, I think you know what I mean.
---------------------
If I start a wish console and "source" the program it, it hangs
(AND CREATES another hung copy of wish and console.)
Anyone else see similar things with visual express console programs
and expect?
I tried the tips of dbghelp.dll and boot.ini and they don't seem to apply.
