Hmmm. I wonder if this could be related to the fact that Gosling ignored
any information in termcap on whether or not the terminal had the magic
cookie glitch (and how bad it was). I ran into this on a teleray 10, where
Emacs inserted extra spaces in the mode line.

When I asked Gosling about it, he said that he had ignored magic cookie
problems so as to discourage people from buying brain-damaged terminals.
