But there are not 2000 columns, you're just hard-coding a value that is
expected to dynamically change.

i.e, on my desktop in a gnome-terminal:

$ echo $COLUMNS
80

Then if I resize the window:

$ echo $COLUMNS
117

This is a bad workaround, can you explain the actual problem?  Are you not
seeing wrapping at a VT, in a terminal, or what?
