OT: Mysterious line break and space

[Pierre Sahores]

Hello katir,

Did you test to output the same process from a Linux  desktop box. In  
my experience it should work better than from the Mac OS X one. I  
suspect (and experimented without finding any definitive workaround)  
an issue with the length of the "messages" the shell can send under  
the Mac OS X platform.

Best Regards,

pierre
