^ byte 4096
Apparently the pty buffer of your system has a size of 4096 bytes. If
the terminal keeps stuffing more bytes into the master side of the pty
that buffer overflows and bytes are dropped until the process at the
other side of the pty had a chance to read some. This is unlikely to be
fixable inside Emacs.
Andreas.
