DDB ignores some input chars (sio)

Hello,

When entering DDB on my Alpha 164 running 6.0-CURRENT from late May
several entered chars are ignored. I have to press some keys twice or
thrice until they show up. This looks like a timing issue to me, as all
keys are affected and it happens rather randomly. After exiting DDB, all
doulby entered chars are then printed on the console.

This is while running over serial console.

omega# sysctl debug.kdb.enter=1
debug.kdb.enter:K D0B: enter: sysctl debug.kdb.enter
[thread pid 438 tid 100050 ]
Stopped at      kdb_enter+0x48: or      zero,zero,zero  <zero=0x0>
db> I'menterng varousha ow
No such command
db> c

 ii crsn -> 0
omega# 
omega#  ii crsn

I tried to enter "I'm entering various chars now", as you can see, DDB
ignores some chars, which then are displayed later. Is my serial setup
broken? I'm connection with 9600/N/1 and didn't change anything on the
Alpha.
