This fell off the list for some reason. Sorry all. Anyway, I tried
using send_tty, and the outcome was basically the same except that my
password was echoed to my terminal, and not to the process.

Hey, so I figured it out. If you don't tell expect to do anything
further it kills the spawned processes so that the script can exit
without hanging. I guess it's aggressive in terms of cleaning up after
itself.

Fixed it by adding 'expect eof' as the last line.

Anyway, thanks for helping out Jared.
