OK, that’s really not what I was expecting to see. 

It looks to me like the stretch glyph code in nsterm.m is just
nonsensical... I don’t really know what to make of it. I guess I’m
missing something?

Anyway, patch attached. I don’t see anything particularly wrong with
it applied, but it’s possible I’ve reintroduced some bug where the
modeline gets partially overwritten.

The patch is against master, but it’s probably possible to apply it to
26 manually.
