Shawn,

Your best bet might be to replace error_logger_tty_h.erl with one
that you've hacked in order to recognize the reports that you
want to prune (e.g. truncating the binaries). You can replace
error_logger_tty_h in service by using

  gen_event:swap_handler(error_logger, error_logger_tty_h,
                         shawns_error_handler).

Another option is to hack gen_server:error_info/5. Unfortunately,
it cannot be parameterized in the current implementation.
Basically, you'd be defining your own behaviour...   /:
