Sorry for nagging ;)
Wasn't the convention to assume an 80-character wide terminal? This line would wrap, then.
So the linefeed is not totally pointless here. Please correct me, if I'm mistaken.
Either we wrap it manually assuming a terminal width that may be wrong, or we let it wrap automatically, but possibly not on a word boundary. I don't think the first option is particularly better.
In fact the option I prefer is the third one: using FormatMessage() to wrap the message on a word boundary to the terminal width. But it may well be overkill too.
