There was a patch, here's the problem we face:
python2 doesn't have any method of detecting the width of a terminal
(python 3 does) when the updated logger landed I was trying to update
code that didn't work with python3 with the goal of going to python3. That
never happened obviously, so, we can set the terminal line width and
truncate, but then if someone needs to see more than 80 characters they
have no ability to do that, (and there are legitimate reasons for that).
Obviously you've run into the other bug.

I have a series that reworks a lot of the log code on the list right now. I'll
send out a patch to limit it then if that works for you.
