Messages of type AUDIT_USER_TTY were being formatted to 1024 octets,
truncating messages approaching MAX_AUDIT_MESSAGE_LENGTH (8970 octets).
Set the formatting to 8560 characters, given maximum estimates for prefix and
suffix budgets.
See the problem discussion:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2009-January/msg00030.html
And the new size rationale:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2013-September/msg00016.html
Test ~8k messages with:
auditctl -m "$(for i in $(seq -w 001 820);do echo -n "${i}0______";done)"
