To further this issue.

I've installed the patched versions of expect and tcl from the shrubbery 
FTP site.

I am sure the correct versions are being picked up, despite the 
non-standard locations.

rob at solaris> head -n4 clogin
#! /usr/local/expect-5.40-rancid/bin//expect --

rob at solaris> ldd expect | grep tcl
libtcl8.3.so =>  /usr/local/tcl-8.3.4-rancid/lib//libtcl8.3.so

So the script is using the patched expect and the patched except is 
linked to the patched tcl (I have no LD_LIBRARY_PATH btw)

Any further pointers would be appreciated.

Cheers

Rob
