well.. serial lines sometimes just drop characters... i would suspect that
by setting the speed to 115200 the loss will increase.

someone i know used to laugh at me for this -- 'p9 is so slow it can't
even cope with a fast serial line' -- until it was confirmed that
linux would drop serial line input much the same way, though not as much.
