Sounds fine by looking at it. Did not test anything though.

Unless I miss something, this whole sections all go inside a:
  if (cont.len) {
    ...
    cont_flush(LOG_NEWLINE);
  }

and look a bit less confusing than the two conditions with just the
negated "current" check and duplicated flush call?
