This looks like the logWriter I introduced in #525. Something to do with the tabwriter passing raw []byte->string->interface{} argument. I cloned it off of the gps testlogger, which only writes to testing.Log, and may dodge the issue.

Working on a fix.

[jmank88]

Every time the tabwriter writes through to the log.Logger, a newline is appended if one is not present 👎

Unfortunately, I think that log.Logger fundamentally cannot be adapted as an io.Writer in the general case because of this. I'm not sure what the best solution is. The simplest would be to buffer and print once to the log.
