number of scrollback lines in "run" and "debug" windows

[Chris Bruner]

I didn't know kdevelop was meant to train people in 'proper' debugging 
procedures.  Just because you've never had the need doesn't mean that it 
isn't there. There may be an extreme corner case, that he doesn't know 
the cause for. It happens every 60,000 lines of debug info or so. By 
having the info available he may be able to narrow the parameters down.

However I will agree that this type of debugging inside an ide seems 
strange. I'd use a command line an pipe it through grep.
