/**
   SingleLineTracerPrintWriter overrides the println function in
   TracerPrintWriter by replacing the TAB character with spaces.
   It also does not print the "\n".
   <p>
   The default format generated by TracerPrintWriter for exceptions
   prints on multiple lines, which does not interact well with some
   logging systems. On the other hand, a stack-trace on one line can be a
   mite difficult to read, so this class should only be used where really
   necessary :-)
   <p>
   For syslog daemons, tabs in messages are not friendly, hence the
   replacement of tabs by spaces here. It shouldn't do any harm to
   do this for all messages...
   <p>
   Perhaps it might be better to enhance TracerPrintWriter to have
   a configuration item for one-line or multi-line mode...
