Jim Warner ca76af22ca top: lift the field management 6 col width restriction
When two somewhat cryptic error messages were recently
changed to more user friendly text, the logic limiting
maximum columns was left unchanged at six. This always
was a rather arbitrary limit but now the revised error
message could actually be misleading (ok, a huge lie).

With a 1 line code change (macro actually), this patch
lifts the internal restriction on maximum columns. Now
the real limit is based on a window's physical x-axis.

(everything is perfectly justified plus right margins)
(are completely filled, but of course it must be luck)

COMPATIBILITY

    This code is intended for use with Linux 2.6.xx, 3.x and
    hopefully all future kernels.

INSTALLATION

    If you are using git version of the project you need extra step.

    ./autogen.sh

    After that, and everyone using .tar.xz version of procps-ng, can
    do normal build.  Read './configure --help' to select options for
    your needs.

    ./configure
    make
    make install

    If you have DejaGNU installed you can run optional test suite.

    make check

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE

    See Documentation/BUGS file.

PACKAGING

    If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
    distribution, please avoid causing troubles.  This section
    applies to you.

    Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches.  Send your
    patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
    included.

    Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
    busy enough to bother with, please make this known.  Follow
    Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
    email without need for an account.

    For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
    to the CFLAGS variable.
