I am using a fresh build from the master repository (24.0.50) on GNU/Linux x86_64

When I set a custom fringe width via `(fring-mode '(1 . 0))', M-x term stops working. I still get basic terminal functionality (bash, ls, etc. work fine) - but any complex ncurse-based application stops working. The terminal just displays random subsets of the actual text that its supposed to show.

How to reproduce:
`emacs -q`
eval `(fring-mode '(1 . 0))'
`M-x term`
start aptitude
...

Is this a bug?

Other than that, there is a minor issue with the terminal height; reported here: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=5615
Is there any chance to get this fix upstream?

You probably mean *fringe-mode* – I can confirm that running the same  
GNU Emacs 24.0.50 in the *terminal* buffer, with -nw, does not look  
good, rather garbled, being mistracked by incorrect number of  
available lines?

Fixed in trunk, thanks for the bug report.
