Has anyone had any success with expect 4.7 on ULTRIX 4.2?  My specific
test case is the following three-line expect script: 

 spawn csh
 send date\n
 expect

On AIX, HP/UX, and SunOS, the above expect script produces output
similar to:

 prompt% date
 Mon Jul 26 11:24:10 EDT 1993
 prompt% 

On ULTRIX, the output is simply:

 date

The csh is not connected to a terminal, as evidenced by the output of
"ps".  The problem only occurs with csh (and possibly bash and tcsh,
although this information is second-hand); sh and other programs work
properly with expect.

Any help is appreciated.
