Description
Yeah, I think it would greatly help if users could send an env variable that dumps the pexpect communication to a file. Currently I have to debug some Singular vs. pexpect problems on Solaris, but I guess with mhansen's help I will finally learn how to fix those issues. But for random users out there a magic switch that gives us logs and helps us hunt down "random" problems would be a great thing IMHO.

The patch looks very nice to me and will surely help us debug loads of Heisenbugs in the future. Positive review.
Cheers,

I've added a patch to do this which uses the SAGE_PEXPECT_LOG environment variable.
