It appears that java stack dumps contain the tab character. This causes line length computation to be messed up, so (on at least some terminals), the lines end up wrapping twice -- once when we hit the right edge of the terminal, and then again a few characters later when indent_wrap() inserts a newline. By using spaces, where pidcat and the terminal can agree on the width of the character, we obviate this problem.

An update to Jeff Sharkey's excellent logcat color script which only shows log entries for processes from a specific application package.
During application development you often want to only display log messages coming from your app. Unfortunately, because the process ID changes every time you deploy to the phone it becomes a challenge to grep for the right thing.
This script solves that problem by filtering by application package. Supply the target package as the sole argument to the python script and enjoy a more convenient development process.
