             A test whether output needs to be written is done when the input
             buffer empties or when a newline appears in the input.  After
             output is written, at most (OUTSIZE - 1) bytes will remain in the
             buffer.  Now INSIZE bytes of input is read.  Each input character
             may grow by a factor of 4 (by the prepending of M-^).  If all
             characters do, and no newlines appear in this block of input, we
             will have at most (OUTSIZE - 1 + INSIZE * 4) bytes in the buffer.
             If the last character in the preceding block of input was a
             newline, a line number may be written (according to the given
             options) as the first thing in the output buffer. (Done after the
             new input is read, but before processing of the input begins.)
             A line number requires seldom more than LINE_COUNTER_BUF_LEN
             positions.
