Guys, the `less -S` problem is bunk, because you can easily change it at runtime. From the OPTIONS section of `man less`:
Most options may be changed while less is running, via the "-" command.
So, just start `journalctl -l` as you would, then type in `-S` and scroll the screen in any direction to force it to re-draw.
Discussing it any further is bikeshedding, and distracts from the much more interesting segfault discussion.
