COLUMNS wasn't set and \pset columns wasn't set? What environment were you

We had a long argument about how this should work a while back so I suspect
people aren't psyched about reopening it, but while I don't think the current
logic is right I don't think wrapping to 80 columns when your terminal is
wider is one of the current broken cases. It tends to fail in the opposite
direction of randomly not wrapping at all so it's kind of surprising to see
your experience.
