I don't have any particular buffer in mind. I simply don't know this
level of the software at all. (At least, not yet).
Maybe there's some circular buffer somewhere which, when it becomes
full, spuriously outputs a space to the screen. The buffer might well
not be in Emacs. Can a circular buffer gradually (over hours) become
smaller? That seems a bit unlikely.
I really haven't much idea - I've reported what I've observed, and I'm
speculating.
