[erlang-questions] tracing very large terms

[Max Lapshin]

I had to make such module:
https://github.com/erlyvideo/erlyvideo/blob/master/apps/erlyvideo/src/core/io_lib_pretty_limited.erl

for this fix:
https://github.com/erlyvideo/erlyvideo/blob/master/apps/erlyvideo/src/core/gen_server_ems.erl#L747

Without this code one large process can kill whole VM while writing
logs about his death.
