[BRLTTY] Baum driver not stable

Hello,

Since several weeks, I search to run BRLTTY with driver Baum. 
Unfortunately, it seems that it doesn't work. Indeed, BRLTTY crashes 
constantly when I using keyboard.

A long series of beeps are emit, the connection with the VarioUltra is 
lost, and I have to kill and restart the BRLTTY if I want to find the 
braille again.

Sometimes, this happens just A Few Seconds After Starting BRLTTY without 
any action on my part.

I don't have this problem with my old braille display.

Below any excerpts from a BRLTTY log:
