That would kill the ‘-119’ red herring but it's still ugly.

I'd expect such droppings not to happen at all.

I regret that I haven't had time to look at the ‘new’ 
pretty-printing code (port?) yet, but it should be possible to 
clear the spinner before a new line. If that's much harder than it 
ought to be, our red herring's more of a red flag.

>> ugly and a little annoying,
