Nor does it have anything to do with cat.  It is your terminal
driver that is eating the characters, before cat ever has a
chance to see them.  I don't know if you would have better
success trying to track this down with xterm developers, or
if it is a kernel issue, but coreutils is faithfully printing everything
that is handed to it via read().
