[PD] [shell] creates line breaks randomly in big lists.

[Andy Farnell]

man stty

Each call to [shell] opens a new tty

It could be an issue that's a combination of column sizes
and EOL characters.

Because of buffering problems [shell] can be an unreliable
tool. If you can use pdlua or pyext to write a listing external
you will have more control and more consistent results.
