Wolfgang,

This patch seems reasonable but it is actually flawed. The - flag means left 
justification. With your patch, it means left justification *and* truncation from 
the right. Log4j uses left truncation for a reason. 

Even though your use case may be legitimate, its implementation is not. An 
additional flag should be introduced for truncation from the right.
