For a few of the bugs I was tracking down, it was imperative. The tests
aren't isolated enough (or at all) to keep one from affecting the
others. And if the test is written incorrectly, or becomes incorrect
due to implementation changes, then the log files are really the only
way to debug after a false positive -- with truncation, the bad test
succeeds incorrectly and then swallows the evidence. :)

I took a stab at this in v12, attached.
