Initially there is no previous formatted log record, and these variables simply have an initial value 0. And occasionally log records can get consumed at a rate such that syslog or the console can't keep up, in which case those variables (along with their corresponding position variables) must be reset. Here too, they're reset to 0. This patch changes it so the initial value used is LOG_NEWLINE. That is, if we know nothing about the prevously-formatted log record, we can assume it was complete, and ended with a newline. One exception is that occasionally we reset our syslog or console (etc.) position variables. In that case the previously-formatted record flags value is still valid, so we preserve that information. This is being done to support the next patch. Initializing these variables this way makes LOG_NEWLINE and LOG_CONT be mutually exclusive, and the next patch uses that fact to simplify some logic.
