This is wrong, broken, will cause crashes on platforms where the PS
string is not null-terminated. (Hint: .* is a maximum width, * is a
minimum width.)

Another thing I thought strange was the order of the added columns;
why isn't it more like the order in which they appear in the text
version? In particular hint should probably come just after detail
and before context, and internal-query should also come before context
because when relevant it's usually more closely nested than the context
stack.

Otherwise the patch looks pretty sane to me. I didn't do any testing
though.
