Hmm, cut buffer limitation in X or someplace?  I definitely get the
right number of characters into the file written with \g, and what looks
like a reasonable number of screensful of plain psql output.  If Bruce
is seeing the right number of dashes and the wrong number of data
characters in his \g output then *something* is pretty weird there.
