I would be willing to bet this is happening because of this (README):

    The variable BAUD is no longer set automatically by the shell.
    In previous versions it was set to the baud rate reported by
    the terminal driver in order to initialise the line editor's
    compensation mechanism for slow baud rates.  However, the baud
    rate so reported is very rarely related to the limiting speed of
    screen updates on modern systems.  Users who need the compensation
    mechanism should set BAUD to an appropriate rate by hand.
