When in no-window use GNU Emacs clips contents in *Backtrace* buffer

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

When I launch GNU Emacs as an X client with --debug-init lines in  
*Backtrace* buffer are truncated, so I copy them and paste them into  
*scratch* buffer. Everything's now expanded to full length.

When I try the same in xterm or in Apple's Terminal without windows,  
the truncated lines like in this example

        Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable -)
	  eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*> nil "/Users/pete/.emacs" nil t)  ;  
Reading at buffer position 2$
	  load-with-code-conversion("/Users/pete/.emacs" "/Users/ 
pete/.emacs" t t)

are not expanded, they seem to be clipped in *Backtrace* buffer. So  
it's not easy to get the buffer position where the error happens ...
