I think you have some other problem and this fix is going to fail in the
future/randomly.

What do you mean by 'timed out'?  did it hang?  did jlogin/expect exit with a
timeout error?  if you run the command manually,
	NOPIPE=YES; export NOPIPE
	jlogin -c 'show version;...' host
what is at the end of the host.raw file?
