I just noticed that it's only the default handler anyway.  But still, I
think a larger default makes more sense.  Attached is a signed-off
version which sets the limit to 400 characters, which should be 5 lines
on a "standard" 80 column terminal.

I added it to NEWS because this is quite noticable to the user.  I also
applied it to master and then cherry-picked it to CHICKEN 5 because the
original patch was for master.

Cheers,
Peter
