Terminal emulation problem

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Log into an Ubuntu Jaunty machine
2. Run "emacs -Q"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Observe that the modeline exceeds the width of the screen. It should
instead precisely fill the screen.

What version of the product are you using (you can see this by using Menu
-> About in the Host List)?
1.5.3.

What type of system are you trying to connect to?
Ubuntu Jaunty.

If you are able to connect, what is the output of "echo $TERM", "uname -a",
and any other relevant information on the host?
TERM is set to "screen", but I also tried with "xterm" (set in ConnectBot).

Please provide any additional information below.

I also tried with GNU Zile, which is a strictly 8-bit Emacs clone, and had
the same problem.

Are you using any special Unicode stuff on your modeline? Are you using a 
language
other than English?

This appears to be a Heisenbug, as I can't now reproduce it, though I came 
across it
several times before reporting it. Maybe it has been fixed by a recent update; 
do
close it for now and I'll report again, more carefully, if I come across it 
again.

In the mean time, hooray!
