 When `GETINFO circuit-status` is typed in control interpreter of `nyx`
 (2.0.4), long lines are not split. Therefore, full `tor`'s reply cannot be
 seen. It looks like (names of Tor nodes are fake):

 {{{
 >>> GETINFO circuit-status
 250+circuit-status=
 XXXX BUILT $FINGERPRINT~NODENAME,$FINGERPRINT~nodeone,$FINGE
 XXXX BUILT $FINGERPRINT~NODENAME,$FINGERPRINT~nodetwotwo2,$F
 XXXX BUILT $FINGERPRINT~NODENAME,$FINGERPRINT~node11,$FINGER
 XXXX BUILT $FINGERPRINT~NODENAME,$FINGERPRINT~nodethree1,$FI
 XXXX BUILT $FINGERPRINT~NODENAME,$FINGERPRINT~tnode,$FINGERP
 XXXX BUILT $FINGERPRINT~NODENAME,$FINGERPRINT~Unnamed,$FINGE
 XXXX BUILT $FINGERPRINT~NODENAME,$FINGERPRINT~anothernode,$F
 XXXX BUILT $FINGERPRINT~NODENAME,$FINGERPRINT~nodenew2,$FING
 .
 250 OK
 }}}

 Other commands which output long lines may also have this problem.

 Interestingly, contrary to `nyx`, `tor-prompt` do line splitting
 correctly.
