[Apologies if this is a duplicate; I tried both 6594 <at> debbugs.gnu.org
and the bug-gnu-emacs list yesterday, but neither seems to have
worked.]

I put a print statement in xterm-mouse-event that displayed the values of
type, x, and y. For some arbitrary clicks, here was the output (all in
pairs; mouse-1 and down-mouse-1, I assume):

In xterm-mouse-event with 0,130023656,46
In xterm-mouse-event with 3,130023656,46
In xterm-mouse-event with 0,37,35
In xterm-mouse-event with 3,37,35
In xterm-mouse-event with 0,12,33
In xterm-mouse-event with 3,12,33
In xterm-mouse-event with 0,130023730,17
In xterm-mouse-event with 3,130023730,17

It appears that the value of x jumps to 0x8000000 around the 94th column.
I don't know much about the internals of emacs nor what the valid
character values are here, but this fix works for me on both Linux and OSX:
