WaitForStrings cannot timeout

Version: Xshell4 Build 0091
Xshell.exe: 4.0.0091, nssock2.dll: 4.0.0009, nsssh3.dll: 4.0.0020, nsprofile2.dll: 4.0.0014, nslicense.dll: 4.0.0008, nsutil2.dll: 4.0.0027, nsverchk.exe: 4.0.0001, Xagent.exe: 4.0.0008, Xactivator.exe: 4.0.0009

Take an example, I hope wait for some string after ESC, but it should timeout in 5 secs, however, timeout never take effect.

Sub Main
xsh.Screen.Send chr(&H1b)
file.Write "Send ESC at " & Now & vbCrLf
result = xsh.Screen.WaitForStrings(prompt, 5000)
file.Write "Stop wait at" & Now & vbCrLf
xsh.Screen.Send chr(&H1b)
End Sub


I wait for a long time, and the file only write:
Send ESC at 6/13/2011 1:36:50 PM


Thus, I think it might be an issue of 'WaitForStrings' ?

Program Ver. : Xshell 4

I think there is a problem with the WaitForStrings function. We will fix the problem shortly.
