bad gnome-terminal or bad script?

    I've just started exploring the Expect language and have quickly hit a
    little bit of a speed bump. But I'm not sure it's Expect that's the
    problem.

    In an FC3 gnome-terminal, I try to run the following script:
    ----------------------
    #!/usr/bin/expect --
    spawn ssh 192.168.0.9
    expect "word: "
    send "password\r"
    expect "]$ "
    interact
    ----------------------

    I don't think it's possible to get any simpler than that. It completes
    successfully and everything seems to be just fine. Until I attempt to
    run a command in the newly spawned ssh session that generates a fair
    amount of output such as "ls -la /usr/bin" or cat'ing a larger text
    file. The output of such a command starts off like normal but before it
    finishes, the output gets "stuck", for lack of a better word. A few
    screenfuls of output go by and then it simply stops in it's tracks. The
    output jiggles around a bit in the term window but the output doesn't
    finish. The cursor seems stuck in place. I can't Ctrl-c out of it
    either but rather I have to manually kill it.

    Does this seem like a gnome-terminal problem or a script problem? Thanks!
