It seems that it's the new addition of ':n' which has pushed it over
the limit of the 11 char field.  Has this been thought through?   I
can see that the ':n' qualifier is necessary to disambiguate alternate
origins.  Without the redundant formatting spaces 9 chars would be
sufficient even for 'P 42/n n m :2' which is indeed the longest one at
13 chars (also 'I 41/a m d :2').
