This is a different issue than the Expect bug that patch is intended to 
fix.  The spurious EOF bug in Expect only affects the internal DejaGnu 
unit tests, which are run in a child expect process.

The report-card tests should not be affected by that issue, however, 
this report contains insufficient information to evaluate.  Please 
attach the report-card.log produced by a failing test run and describe 
the system that you are using.  What distribution is exhibiting this issue?
