Comment (by arma):

 I did a bit of grepping to look for other cases. I don't think we can
 simply disallow \n in log strings, since there are plenty of multi-line
 log strings.

 But then I got to thinking: maybe we can disallow log strings that *end*
 in \n?

 I found a couple of those, like in fuzz_main():
 {{{
     log_debug(LD_GENERAL, "Zero-Length-Input\n");
 }}}
 {{{
   log_debug(LD_GENERAL, "Result:\n%d\n", rv);
 }}}
