I guess, I'm asking to increase the default then. If large output is affecting 
some select testers, it is these testers who should reduce the limit, IMHO. 
And 4 KiB is simply too low.

I understand this should be done by the tester, and then the tests should be 
run again? I was hoping that the full output was saved somewhere on the 
tester's machine.
