Facing problem in using 'spawn' with windows

OS: Windows
I'm running Tcl 8.4 (with Except) and testing a script that telnets to my router. When I telnet directly using the Microsoft client everything works fine. But when i 'spawn telnet $ipaddr' inside the script and do expect "Username: ", it seems to hang for a minute and a window pops up with the message "Tchsh encountered unexpected problem and would like to close". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Note that Expect has some requirements that the right dlls are used. See more at

and there are also some new test dlls to address DEP issues noted here:

I encountered the same problem in most of the Core 2 Duo machines. But, it always works fine older ones.
Waiting for new version to fix.
The new test dlls works! Great!
