In GNU Emacs 18.55.6 of Mon Jun 25 1990 on icule (usg-unix-v):

When a message, output by the message Elisp function say, extends
beyond the end of the minibuffer, the excendentary characters are not
visible.

There should be an easy mechanism to see a long message in whole.  The
most natural thing would be that the minibuffer automatically grows
multi-line to accomodate the whole message.

I think this has been discussed a few times before, I do not remember
exactly in which terms.  I would like to file this as an Emacs bug.
