please try

	(setq process-connection-type nil)

in .emacs.


In lisp/term/mac-win.el, the variable set by the following code:

(unless (eq system-type 'darwin)
   ;; Tell Emacs to use pipes instead of pty's for processes because the
   ;; latter sometimes lose characters.  Pty support is compiled in since
   ;; ange-ftp will not work without it.
   (setq process-connection-type nil))

But pty on MacOSX (or at least on build 5S66) is buggy.
So I think the above code should be simply

	(setq process-connection-type nil)

or

	(if (eq system-type 'darwin)
	    (setq process-connection-type nil))


I hope it helps.

Regards,

Nozomu Ando
