The intent was to discard all output past the end of the buffer until
the next line starts and __wine_dbg_output flushes it. If the buffer
is full, it'll do a 0-size memcpy and overwrite the end. Is that what
you mean?

Now that I think about it, I have no idea why I added those traces.
Maybe I should just get rid of those.

I would still like to figure this out for the occasions when Mono
produces really long trace outputs.
