Details

The linebuffer was only 256 chars so longer lines were truncated in the log file.

By removing the handling of special chars (for example: /n/r/t) and simply writing everything we read as is to the logfile we fix this bug, make the code much smaller and allow users to write userspace tools that correctly handle rendering.
