That's insane: spawning a program every second.

No. The resolution of Lua's os.date is only one second, which makes syncing
updates to the second impossible. And I can't be arsed to export more high
resolution functions from the C side, because clocks that update every 
second are an idiotic distraction that will draw your attention all the
time.

The statusbar only truncates things if a template has been set, to 
match the width of this template. Check your settings and the script.
