At a guess, the pipe device probably has something like a 2K buffer. If
you don't read out of one end with lharc faster than the terminal program
is dumping to it, you're gonna have problems. If dpipe: comes with source,
I'd just try increasing the internal buffer size. The pipe device can't
very well tell your terminal program to stop transferring the file while
it catches up!
