I just updated my machine to Solaris 9, and am seeing the same
failures, using expect-5.38.0.  I may try updating my expect
installation later, just to be sure.  A expect script that just has a
tight loop spawning echo and expecting on its output reveals similar
behavior, so it's either an expect bug or a Solaris 9 kernel bug.
