I'm using the glossaries package, and when I issue \printglossaries:

```
\printglossaries
\makeglossaries

```

the glossary is waaaaaay too wide:

My package options are

```
\usepackage[acronym,sort=def,
  style=long,
  nolist
]{glossaries}

```

Setting

```
\setlength{\textwidth}{4.65in}

```

right before the \printglossaries is promptly ignored, and I couldn't find any option in the glossaries documentation to influence the width.

When I use twoside as a scrreprt option, the effect is much more pronounced.

Any ideas why this might happen or how I would fix it?
