Looks like, may not be.

The Problem: 
expect -c "spawn ls"
spawn ls
The system has no more ptys.  Ask your system administrator to create more.
 while executing "spawn ls"

It now seems to be a permission problem as explained in http://expect.nist.gov/FAQ.html#q67 .

Still investigating. Any help will be very much appreciated.
