Info message starts scrolling

[LotusGuy]

Following the reporting of some bad blocks, the information message, instead of being a single line updated in place, became a series of thousands of scrolling messages. Here's the tail end of what I saw:

I'm guessing that it was caused by the line extending past 80 columns. Cheers.

Not necessarily being >80 but greater than whatever the terminal width is. It's a pretty common thing. There might be a way to work around it. I'd have to look into it.

It's not perfect but it's much better now.
