As Jilles wrote ^D\b\b are echoed by the terminal when the script sends VEOF
to the program being script. 

In my recent commit r225809 the intention was to sent VEOF only once if STDIN
was not terminal. Unfortunately the fix was incorrect and for flushtime > 0 it
keeps sending VEOF. That is why you are observing series of ^D\b\b characters.

I am going to commit the attached patch to HEAD, that fixes this. But we will
still have one ^D\b\b in the output.
