Subject: [PATCH] core: don't hit an assert when printing status messages about
 units with overly long description strings
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This essentially reverts one part of d054f0a4d451120c26494263fc4dc175bfd405b1.

(We might also choose to use proper ellipsation here, but I wasn't sure the
memory allocation this requires wouöld be a good idea here...)

Fixes: #4534
(cherry picked from commit 07ecca0dc9d2d8f3b3abd73ab32f254f339fd903)
