Which browser are you using?  I get the same problem when using
Firefox 3.5.5 on Firefox, but it's fine with Google Chrome 4.0.245.1
on Linux: http://darkixion.com/archives.postgresql.org.chrome.png

But yes, it is a problem because it's contained within <pre> tags
which should prevent line-wrapping.  Maybe the following CSS would fix
it:

pre
{
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; /* Mozilla, supported since 1999 */
white-space: -pre-wrap; /* Opera 4 - 6 */
white-space: -o-pre-wrap; /* Opera 7 */
white-space: pre-wrap; /* CSS3 - Text module (Candidate
Recommendation)http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#white-space */
word-wrap: break-word; /* IE 5.5+ */
}
