>Description:
	Chat does not work with expect/send pairs on the commandline.
	It works properly with the expect/send pairs in a file, (-f option).
>How-To-Repeat:
	Execute "chat a b c d e f".
	Pressing "a" generates a response of "b".
	Pressing "c" SHOULD generate a response of "d",
	but it hangs until it times out.
	To demonstrate PROPER behaviour, create a file containing:
	    a b
	    c d
	    e f

	then execute "chat -f <filename>, followed by keypresses
	of "a", "c", and "e".
>Fix:
	Use "-f <filename>" instead of using commandline.
