Thats one I've been chasing and is caused by this same patch. We've
lost the separation between command_line and saved_command_line and the
user visible line gets trunc'd. Andi has a later version which has this
part fixed as far as I can tell. I'm posting a dirty patch in response
to my report of this to at least get past this bit as our test system
relies on the commmand line being maintained to user space.
