R help - Jul 2009 - Long character not truncated by str() after adding comment

If I add a comment to a long character string, I can't get the truncated
string to display in the str() output.  Anyone know how to get str to
compactly display a truncated string and the comment? 

longch <- paste(rep(letters,100), collapse="")
str(longch)  # truncated
comment(longch)<-"100 ABCs"
str(longch) # not truncated


Thanks,

Chris Stubben
