It might not only be the first few characters of the line.
I've run into something like this in the past where the line was effectively printed twice, over itself, with the second time shifted by some number of characters to the right.  So it looks like the first few (?) characters are duplicated when in fact the entire line is repeated, just offset and overwriting most of the line.
You can usually tell if something like this is happening by redirecting STDOUT to a file or a utility like xxd and looking at the output.
I don't remember what the cause of this was, but once I found out what was happening, I think it was fairly obvious where the problem was in that instance.
