Tmux + Emacs Scrolling Bug

To recreate this bug:

1) Use PuTTy on Windows to connect to Linux box.
2) Start tmux session. (tmux 1.6)
3) Open Emacs (emacs 23.1.1 -- also appears in 24.3.1)
4) Open several files in different buffers in vertical Emacs "windows".
- Note: C-x-3 opens vertical window. C-x-f to open file.
5) In RIGHTMOST window, using mouse, scroll down and up.
6) Irregularly (about 80% of the time), it will be impossible to scroll UP
(though down works).
7) Clicking in other windows seems to have no effect, although scroll-up
will sometimes spontaneously start working again for a short time

This bug has been discussed on this Emacs thread
http://emacs.1067599.n5.nabble.com/24-3-1-xterm-mouse-event-Wrong-type-argument-wholenump-6-tt321010.html#none
but no resolution was found.

* Note that this does NOT occur when using GNU 'screen'. *

That worked! I went through the instructions on
http://pyther.net/2014/03/building-tmux-1-9a-statically/ and now I have the
latest version. Scrolling on Emacs works correctly now. Thanks so much!
