Bug Description
This test case leaks a file descriptor:
spawn bash
expect {
"\$" { send "ls -l /proc/self/fd; exit 0\n" }
}
interact
It has been fixed in Fedora (*) and Debian (5.45-7), but not Ubuntu for some reason. Thanks.

The Debian Expect maintainer tells me that this problem is present when libtcl8.6-8.6.4 is installed, but vanishes with 8.6.5 installed. So this is definitely not a bug in Expect (and can be closed), and probably doesn't need anything doing as it will be fixed in xenial.
