The unit-list output includes the name of the unit,but this name is often longer than the 25 character limit allowed in the code. 

Here is a patch that makes this longer (40 chars) for terminals with over 96 character width, and which moves the ellipsis towards the start (33% -> 25%) of the name, as there's often more specific info towards the end of names.

A better solution would be good, but this is better than the current state.
