I suggest to fix the issue directly in scanlogs, where the errlog file
is just cat'ed. I believe it will be better (and also easier) than
trying to modify how controlchan logging works.
I suggest to add a "maxlines" keyword that can be added to scanlogs
invocation.
By default, it would be 50 (same value as the default value for the
number of reported unknown lines in news.notice when innreport runs).
This cut would apply to both news.crit and errlog (the two files that
scanlogs prints, besides of course the daily report generated by innreport).
Would this fix suit you or do you have another suggestion?

This seems reasonable.
Ideally it would be nice to consolidate the duplicated lines (as we do
with other sorts of logging) but I guess if there are multi-line error
messages (which it seems like there were in this case) that is nontrivial
to do.
