This option was added around rancid 2.3.2a7; you should upgrade to
2.3.2.  in the meantime, expect -d jlogin ... will do the same thing.
the output around the hang/timeout has to be examined.

afaik, the problem has never been fixed in expect (really tcl).  you 
could install it in/under ~ranciduser's homedir and adjust PATH in
rancid.conf to avoid dealing with your IT dept.
