I cannot reproduce this here.  In my setup, the lines in your example
are never wrapped.  Maybe you have a locally changed listings.cfg
somewhere?  This is how I get line breaking:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{listings}
\begin{document}
\section{As a float}

foo
\lstinputlisting[float=p,breaklines=true]{/etc/inittab}

bar

\clearpage{}
\section{Not as a float}

foo
\lstinputlisting[breaklines=true]{/etc/inittab}

bar
\end{document}
