printf command in ksh

Hi,
I am very confused with my printf command.
Somehow one variable can't line up with others...

newstart2 ="Mon Nov 11 01 00:00:00 2002"
printf "%-20s" $newstart2

Here is the output:
Mon Nov 11
01 00:00:00 2002


It spread out to two lines..

Why?

fspy [options] [file/dir] OPTIONS
-F, --filter STRING/REGEX a string or regular expression which will be used to filter the output. (the regex will be matched against the whole path e.g. [/etc/passwd]) -I, --inverted STRING/REGEX its the same like -F/--filter but inverted. you can combine both. e.g. -F '.conf' -I 'wvdial.conf' will filter for files with ".conf" in its name but without "wvdial.conf" in it. -R, --recursive NUMBER enables the recursive engine to look at a depth of NUMBER. -A, --adaptive (HIGHLY-EXPERIMENTAL) enables the adaptive mode. e.g. if new items will be added within the path fspy will automatically add those items to the watch list. -D, --diff VALUE (EXPERIMENTAL) enables the diffing feature. VALUE may be a comma separated list of: s - element size (byte) A - last access time (e.g. Mon Jul 21 21:32:31 2008) M - last modification time (e.g. Mon Jul 21 21:32:31 2008) S - last status change time (e.g. Mon Jul 21 21:32:31 2008) O - permissions (octal) U - owner (uid) G - group (gid) I - inode number D - device id -T, --type VALUE specifies the type of objects to look for.
