I solve this problem in my tables by using a table length-constraining parameter:

| my table | long-cell  |
|          | <10>       |
|          | tons of text that should be cut off at a reasonable length (just 10 chars) and not run on forever               |
|          |                                                                                                                 |


produces:

| my table | long-cell  |
|          | <10>       |
|          | tons of te |
|          |            |
