[m-dev.] mdb browser and arrays

[Fergus Henderson]

Currently mdb's term browser doesn't handle arrays very well.
In particular, it doesn't limit their size to anything reasonable.

How to reproduce: for an example of this, do
	
	cd tests/hard_coded
	mmc --trace deep bigtest.m lp.m
	while true; do echo; echo "P"; done | mdb ./bigtest | less

and use the "/array" less command to find the first time it prints
out an array; you'll see that it prints out *all* the array elements.

Sam, since you've been working on the term browser,
could you please have a look at this one?
