No.  To overcome it, pipe the output through "col".  That way, you
should get output much closer to what was intended.

Now, the stock "col" has a nasty feature where it generates overstruck
output by using backspaces.  This is frightfully slow in many cases.
Write if you're interested in an alternative version which uses
carriage return instead.
