It 'accidentally works' on Linux.  'expect' and 'expect -p' produce the 
same output.  and /bin/sh -c expect -p really is the same as /bin/sh -c 
expect, per POSIX parsing rules of -c.  I'm pretty sure that its 
required for other systems as well, since it is broken there as well.

It sounds like FreeBSD's shell is posix compliant in this regard, so it 
isn't a bug to be fixed there.
