I don't have any particular buffer in mind.  I simply don't know this
level of the software at all.  (At least, not yet).

Maybe there's some circular buffer somewhere which, when it becomes
full, spuriously outputs a space to the screen.  The buffer might well
not be in Emacs.  Can a circular buffer gradually (over hours) become
smaller?  That seems a bit unlikely.

I really haven't much idea - I've reported what I've observed, and I'm
speculating.
