This at least makes the message only print out a little, so that error
messages don't end up scrolling out of your buffer.

Bug description:
I upgraded my tasks to the 0.3 branch today.  After installing it, on starting it up it prints a slew of warnings:

Warning : get_parent will return one random parent because                     there are multiple parents.
Warning : get_parent will return one random parent because                     there are multiple parents.
Warning : get_parent will return one random parent because                     there are multiple parents.
Warning : get_parent will return one random parent because                     there are multiple parents.
Warning : get_parent will return one random parent because                     there are multiple parents.
Warning : get_parent will return one random parent because                     there are multiple parents.
Warning : get_parent will return one random parent because                     there are multiple parents.
Warning : get_parent will return one random parent because                     there are multiple parents.

It would probably be sufficient to print it out a few times and then just indicate that the warning repeats.  E.g. something like:

Warning : get_parent will return one random parent because                     there are multiple parents.
Warning : get_parent will return one random parent because                     there are multiple parents.
Warning : get_parent will return one random parent because                     there are multiple parents.
[Last warning repeats 42 times...]
