Questions to bash read builtin functionality

Hello list, One of our bash-scrips failed with very low frequency but randomly. The result was that exactly 1 byte was lost, so the string returned by read -t 1 was too short. The culprit seems to be the built-in read function itself, the probability of failure was about 1:10 in our case.
