When I remove the tab, it loses the last letter of "children".  However,
when I redirect to a file (even without removing the tab) it looks fine.
I've also noticed that the trace screen with exw, the code cuts off at 
about 48 screen characters if the line has a tab.  If lines are indented
with spaces, everything looks fine.
