Hm. I've had a look at this: the only solution I see is to make the
code check if the line it just printed is COLUMNS characters long
whenever it wants to print a newline. Since there are several ways how 
the different things are printed (display-lists, explanation strings, 
matches), fixing this can get quite ugly, so I better ask first: does
anybody see a better solution than to keep track of the number of
characters printed?
