Summary: script.c incorrectly identifies syntax errors?

Initial Comment:
I am using a script to program a network device.  The 
script is just a series of expect { } send " " 
combinations.

The send " " actually appears on one line in the 
script.

***
This combination fails with the error "(word contains 
ESC or quote)"

expect {
        $
}
send "create ethernet intf ifname eth-0 ip 
192.168.1.254 mask 255.255.255.0 inside"


This combination is successful but unfortunately does 
not mean the same thing to the network device:

expect {
        $
}
send "create ethernet intf ifname eth-0 ip 
192.168.1.254 mask 255.255.255.0"

The only difference is the word "inside"
***

This combination fails with "(word contains ESC or 
quote)" as well:

expect {
        $
}
send "create ppp security ifname ppp-0 pap login cpe-
user6@domain.net passwd abc123"


I am running mincom-2.1 from the freebsd ports on 
FreeBSD 4.8 Stable.

Ok, just checked in a work around for that error in CVS.
I'm currently rejecting to properly fix this mess (maybe
sometime later...).
