Thank you for providing some light in this.
catch { package require Expect }
initializes the global timeout variable to a value of
10, without caring whether it has been already defined
or not.

I'll keep the global variable for documentation
purposes, put in a comment, restore the value after
package require and then set the timeout to -1 in each
proc, so no one ever reusing some or all the code can
ever fall in this trap.

Thanks for the catch!
